A special thank you to my best friend and confidant, Kimberly Fore-Lane. This event would not be what it is without you. Thank you for the countless late-night and early morning, hour long phone calls, encouragement, honesty, and support every step of the way. Through the highs, lows, stress, and excitement, you were always there to remind me why I started this journey. I truly could not have done it without you, and I’m forever grateful for your friendship.
To our families and supporters — thank you for helping create an atmosphere that was welcoming, encouraging, and fun for all involved.
The overwhelming feedback, kind words, hugs, and messages I’ve received over the past few days have been humbling. Seeing our dancers make memories, teams bond, and our community come together reminds me exactly why this event exists.
Thank you for helping make the 2026 Florida Clogging Extravaganza one of our most memorable years yet. I am beyond grateful for every one of you and already looking forward to what we’ll create together next year.
Until we flamingle again… thank you for being part of the original and only flock. 🦩
