✨ Senior Spotlight: Amelia Brokopp ✨

For the past 5 years, Amelia has been a beautiful example of connection, growth, and heart at AAD.
Her solo “You Never Know” says it all—because you truly never know the impact you’ll have on others, and Amelia’s has been incredible.

Next stop: UW–Whitewater for Theatre Education

We’ll miss your kindness and the way you bring dancers of all ages together. Keep shining!

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸

Today we celebrate all of the amazing moms, grandmas, and mother figures who make it possible for our dancers to shine.

We are so grateful for all you do.

✨ Senior Spotlight: Jennifer Tamboli ✨

11 years with AAD and still going strong. Jennifer has brought dedication, heart, and a love for Irish dance to every stage she steps on. From unforgettable Irishfest memories to her solo “Morning Stroll,” she’s truly made her mark.

Next up: UW–Madison studying Mathematics (while continuing crocheting, powerlifting, AND dance)

We are so proud of you, Jennifer—your journey is just getting started!

Welcome to the AAD family, Mabel James! 💕

We are overjoyed to share that Miss Emilie’s sweet baby girl has arrived! Though she made her debut a little earlier than she expected, Mabel is doing well—and so is Miss Emilie.

In true AAD fashion, Mabel has already had her first night at the studio! She made a special guest appearance last night and even got to take in her very first performance. We think it’s safe to say… she’s already part of the show ✨

Congratulations to Miss Emilie and her growing family—we couldn’t be happier for you! 🎀

Attendance matters now more than ever! ✨
As we get closer to recital, dancers are learning choreography, spacing, formation changes, and even lifts—all of which build week by week. When a dancer misses, it can be hard to keep up and it also impacts the group as everyone works together to create a polished performance.

Let’s finish strong and make every rehearsal count! 🩵

A few weeks later and we’re still thinking of everything our dancers accomplished at 💚

Now it’s time to take that momentum into this competition weekend.
Good luck dancers—shine bright! ✨
