Competitive Dance is so much more than awards and trophies.
The DFR Competition Dance Team is a dedicated, connected community of athletic artists that learns, grows and creates together.

We empower and lift each other up.

We celebrate each other and take pride in our work - no matter the outcome - because we win every time we take the stage.

Every experience provides inspiration and opportunity to dive deeper into our craft - expand our knowledge - and gain valuable insight for personal growth both as dancers and as humans.

More performance experience leads to more self confidence - and on the stage - we thrive ✨

We meet dancers from all over! Making new friends that share our love and passion for dance everywhere we go is one of the best parts of being a member of the DFR Competition Team Family.

One of the most rewarding moments as a dance educator is witnessing the moments when consistent dance training and encouraged improvisation result in thoughtful student choreography. It’s even more fulfilling when those moments occur spontaneously outside of a structured class and for no reason besides creative joyful expression. DFR Team dancers Reese Emma & Stella created this impressive piece while on vacation together last week. According to Moms & there were others - all presented in a show. If you & your cousins ever did a show for your family at any gathering - this may unlock core magical memories for you - and we encourage you to bask in that. To Reese Emma & Stella - Bravo ladies - this is pure gold - thank you for sharing this moment with us. 🥰🤗🫰🫰🫰

And then there was one…
⭐️Season 8’s one and only graduating Senior ladies and gentlemen ⭐️

As we make our final preparations for her last season with DFR’s Senior Company - I wish to take a moment to commemorate this milestone for Mia by sharing some clips from this week that made my eyes leak. 🥹
Mia modeling her - one of a kind “2026 Senior” jacket & rehearsing a duet with her sister Lucy 🤍
It has been an honor to set this duet - that I trust will remain in our hearts for many years to come.

We are so excited for Mia’s final season - and yet already so sad at the thought of missing her next year.
Mia is a whole vibe - a truly magnificent human - and an incredibly gifted dancer.
Please join us in celebrating Mia as we step into Season 8 with full hearts 💕

Senior Company dancer - and our only 2026 grad - Mia Gimigliano is - simply put - is a force of nature. Mia brings musicality, technical prowess, and embodiment - to levels unknown. She is the undeniable example of that moment when the music and the dancer become one - all lines blur - you feel the power and emotion in a place you didn’t even know existed -and it makes your soul smile. Mia brings us to places - uncovered from deep beneath the surface - and makes us feel things so beautiful- so powerful - things we forgot - emotions we have shuttered - fire we have snuffed out. She brings it all to awareness - and moves us. . Mia embodies the magic we suppress - and reminds us all to let that fire burn brightly, unapologetically, and brighter than the sun. Personally, I am so far from ready to accept that this is Mia’s last season as a leader and inspiration to every dancer at DFR - but as I reflect back on her journey from party girl to Clara to Sugarplum - I am humbled by her presence - inspired by her undeniable fire - and grateful for the immense and lasting impact she has made on every member of the DFR Family - and on me. We are not yet ready to say “farewell” - we have so much yet to create together - but from the bottom of my exploding heart - and from every person who has experienced you - Mia - we love you - we celebrate you - and we will forever be indebted to you for showing us what it means to be dancer.
To be part of your story has been a gift we simply cannot put words to. Our greatest wish for you is that you never, ever dim your light, or mask your power - and that you continue to share the most radiant parts of you with all who would bask in your light. Please join us in celebrating our absolutely magnificent, spectacular, beautiful Mia!
