✨ MEET OUR NEWEST STAFF MEMBER ✨

Join us in welcoming Gabbie to the Paradigm Dance Project family!

Gabbie’s love for dance began at just 3 years old and has grown into a lifelong passion. She trained extensively at Dance Connection in Rosemount, MN and Larkin Dance Studio in Maplewood, MN, studying ballet, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, tap, musical theatre, hip-hop, and pom. Throughout her dance journey, she has had the opportunity to work with many renowned choreographers and develop a strong foundation in both performance + artistry.

Gabbie attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she earned a degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Athletic Healthcare while dancing as a member of the nationally ranked University of Wisconsin Dance Team. During her time on the team, she performed at Badger athletic events, competed at UDA Nationals, and assisted with choreography for team routines.

In addition to her performance experience, Gabbie has taught private lessons and choreographed for the Rosemount High School Dance Show. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Mayo Clinic, blending her knowledge of movement science with her passion for dance and dancer development ❤️

We are so excited for our students to learn from Gabbie’s experience, energy, and dedication to helping dancers grow both technically and artistically.

✨ MEET OUR NEWEST STAFF MEMBER ✨

Please help us give a warm Paradigm welcome to Madison!

Madison's dance journey began at the age of 7, her passion for the art form has taken her from the studio to the collegiate level, where she served as captain of the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire Dance Team while earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Throughout her career, Madison has trained in all styles of dance, earned numerous scholarships and national titles, and developed a reputation for creating award-winning choreography. Her experience teaching dancers of all ages, combined with her dedication to helping every student grow, makes her an incredible addition to our dance family🖤

When she's not in the studio, Madison works as a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Mayo Clinic, bringing the same compassion, leadership, and commitment to excellence.

We are thrilled to welcome Madison to Paradigm Dance Project and can't wait for our dancers to meet her too!

✨ SENIOR SPOTLIGHT ✨

🩰Simona Foster | Dancing for 3 years

When asked about her favorite memories, it wasn't just the dancing that stood out—it was the friendships and fun along the way. From laser tag adventures to post-competition Applebee's runs, the moments shared with teammates have made her journey unforgettable❤️

After graduation, Simona plans to enter the Surgical Technology Program at RCTC, earn her certification, specialize in the cardiovascular system, and maybe even head off on a new adventure in Montana or North Carolina!

💬Advice from Simona:
"Remain resilient and passionate because that's all you need to be a great dancer. Be committed to it even if it gets hard and exhausting at times. It's so worth it for the accomplishment you feel and for the positive contribution that you make to each group dance."

And of course, we'll never forget those infamous competition mornings when Simona would show up with a "slick back" bun that somehow needed a complete redo every time 😂

Simona, thank you for sharing your talent, dedication, and heart with our studio. We can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish next 🎉🎓

✨ SENIOR SPOTLIGHT ✨

🩰Hailey Cooper | Dancing for 15 years

Hailey has poured her heart into every rehearsal, performance, and memory made at PDP. From unforgettable routines like Dollhouse and Solo Dancing to her emotional senior solo Time, she has continuously challenged herself as both a performer and storyteller.

Hailey’s love for dance shines brightest through the joy she brings to the studio — whether it’s Thursday night ballet chaos, musical theater laughs, team bonding adventures, or hilarious car rides with Hadley. She reminds us that dance is about so much more than technique… it’s about family, friendship, and the moments you never forget ❤️

After graduation, Hailey will continue chasing her dreams in Los Angeles at the Momentum Dance Training Program while pursuing online college courses to become a Physical Therapy Assistant!

💬Advice from Hailey:
“Keep working hard even on the days you feel unmotivated. Find someone else in the room to make you work harder but don’t forget that real friendships are just as important as a high kick.”

Hailey, thank you for growing up with us and for leaving your mark on PDP in the most beautiful way. Your passion, heart, humor, and dedication will forever be part of our dance family. We are endlessly proud of you and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next ❤️🖤

To our dance moms… 🤍✨

Behind every dancer is a mom who’s been there through it all — the quick changes, the competition weekends, the last-minute rhinestones, the emotional pep talks, and the “one more time” rehearsals.

You’re the calm in the chaos, the loudest cheerleaders in the audience, and the reason so many of these moments feel like magic 🥹💐

So today, our dance dads are taking a moment to celebrate *you*

Thank you for the love you pour into your dancers + this studio family every single day. We see it, we appreciate it, and we’re so grateful for you.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms behind the magic 🌷🤍✨
