Who is this cute little AFTT girl?
She has always had a true passion for dance, and over the years, that passion has shined brightly both on and off the stage. As a company dancer and soloist, Kayden has consistently demonstrated dedication, grace, and determination in every performance. She has poured her heart into dance throughout the years.

Outside of the studio, Kayden has also been involved as a Varsity Cheerleader and a participant in Dream Girl at Phil Campbell High School, where she continued to share her confidence, leadership, and school spirit. No matter what she is involved in, Kayden gives her very best and approaches every opportunity with passion and purpose.

At AFTT, Kayden has become so much more than just a dancer. She has spent time helping instruct our younger classes, and those little dancers absolutely adore her. She is patient, encouraging, dependable, and always willing to step in wherever she is needed. Kayden has always been responsible with her duties at the studio, and her positive attitude and kind heart make her a true joy to be around each week.

One of Mrs. Addie’s fondest memories of Kayden will always be the countless hours she dedicated to perfecting her solos over the years. Kayden never settled for “good enough.” She worked tirelessly, paying attention to every detail and pouring her heart into every movement until everything felt just right. Her commitment, work ethic, and passion are qualities that will undoubtedly take her far in life.

Kayden, your studio family is so proud of the young woman you have become. Your presence, leadership, and sweet spirit will be deeply missed at AFTT, but we know your future is incredibly bright. Thank you for the memories, the hard work, and the love you have shared with all of us over the years.

Congratulations, Kayden! 🩷💃

She is a natural when it comes to the world of dance! Your eyes are immediately drawn to her every time she takes the stage. She performs with so much joy and confidence, whether she’s dancing in a company routine or shining in a theatre production. It has been such a privilege to watch her growth, dedication, and passion for what she loves.

She is beautiful, smart, and incredibly talented. When I think back to her journey as a young dancer, I can’t help but remember how quickly she could learn choreography and have it perfected by the time she left the very first rehearsal. That determination and work ethic have always set her apart.

Beyond her talent, she has always been kind, respectful, and dedicated. She is someone who makes those around her proud, and it has been an honor to be a small part of her dance journey.

AFTT is going to miss her so much! As you begin this exciting new chapter, know that you’ll always have a home here. Don’t be a stranger—be sure to come back and visit us! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things your future holds. 🩷✨

Who is this cute little AFTT girl?
She’s been at AFTT since she could walk, and she has never failed to bring the s***k! Full of energy and able to move like no other, she has always lit up every room—and every stage—she steps onto.

One of my favorite memories is from one of her very first times performing. She actually required a dance instructor dedicated just to her because she kept running back and forth between the stage wings instead of staying on stage!

She has always been an absolute joy, and we truly wouldn’t trade her for anything. It’s hard to believe she’s wrapping up all things high school and preparing for her college journey. Watching her grow into the incredible young woman she is today has been such a privilege.

If you’ve ever had the chance to be around her, you know she has a way of making your day better. Her smile, spirit, and personality are contagious.

While we are excited for all that lies ahead, we are incredibly lucky that she isn’t going far from us. We’re thrilled that she will continue to be a part of the AFTT family by instructing during her time in college. Our dancers are going to be so fortunate to learn from someone who has grown up in our studio and embodies everything AFTT is about.

We love you dearly and are so proud of you. We can’t wait to see call the amazing things your future holds! ❤️

Who is this cute little AFTT girl?
For the past 15 years, this beautiful girl has been lighting up the stage with her radiant smile since the young age of 3. She’s easygoing, hardworking, and always ready to take on anything that comes her way with grace and determination.

One of our funniest memories has to be the time she was almost late for her solo at a venue in Nashville. With parking nearly impossible to find nearby, they grabbed an Uber to make it on time — but there was one problem… her hot pink tractor prop wouldn’t fit! It’s a memory that still makes us laugh to this day, and her country-themed solo will always be one of the highlights we’ll never forget.

Although she’s graduating, we are so thankful that this isn’t goodbye. We’ll still get to enjoy her presence, leadership, and instruction at AFTT as she begins her college journey. She has always been such an important part of our studio family, and I know she will continue inspiring the next generation of dancers and gymnasts.

You are so incredibly special to me — my third “E” or “Emmy Lou”. Love you!!

Who is this cute little AFTT girl?
She’s been in dance shoes since the College Avenue days when her daddy would take every step in Pre-K dance class with her…she’s come a long way since “Sally is a Butterfly”. She’s been a dazzler, a glam, a company dancer and a soloist! You’ve made us proud every step of the the way. I can’t imagine a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon without her smile coming thru the studio door. Thank you for just being YOU! Your positive attitude, dedication and success are going to take you wherever you choose to go!
