GDP Families! This week is our LAST week of classes for our 2025-2026 season! Our last day of class is Saturday, June 13th! 💚🖤🩶

This season was full of smiles, laughter, first times, exponential growth in dancers, rallying behind our GDP family, achievements, stand outs, shout outs and everything in between. Just when we think it can’t get any better … it does!

🎓Morountodun Ajayi🎓

I think if we polled most adults in the studio who they wanted to be most like when they grew up - it would hands down be Todun! Our sweet, gentle soul is loved for the person she is and the environment she creates. The magic she brings on stage is just the cherry on top!

When not dancing, Todun enjoys reading, cooking, crocheting, doing hair, crafting and building Legos! If you’ve never seen Todun dance - you’ve missed out for sure. Technically starting at the age of 3, Todun didn’t seriously start dancing until the age of 12! Hip hop is where Todun’s heart lives! She choreographed her undefeated hip hop duet this season with her partner, Ida, winning top scoring and choreography awards all season!

Todun’s academic life is equally successful! She made history this year as her and 5 other students graduated with their Associates Degree from Delaware State University BEFORE she graduated from Early College High School. Enrolled in dual classes, Todun crushed this graduation season as Valedictorian of her graduating class! I can simply say that NONE of us are surprised!

Todun will be attending the University of Delaware this fall majoring in Civil Engineering. She dreams of one day owning her own dance studio - in addition to conquering the world! Since graduating, she’s most looking forward to working in an industry in which she’s a minority as she wishes to be an inspiration to young girls who look like her! 💕

The best advice Todun has received that she’d love to pass on is “when you do good things, good will come. It doesn’t always happen immediately but will come when you least expect it.” The best advice we’ve heard all day!

Todun - you are everything! To say we wish you the best doesn’t feel like enough! I can’t wait to see how everything you touch turns to gold! You are such a joy to teach and I treasure the love you show your students and younger dancers.

Everyone … please take a moment and join in as we scream CONGRATULATIONS TODUN! ♥️

Pssst … it’s round two of S🌟E🌟N🌟I🌟O🌟R SUNDAYS! And today, all the “awwws” are in celebration of our very own …

🎓Mia Lauren Gilliam🎓

Affectionately known as Moo, Moose, Miss Mia or Mimia, Mia is the baby of the family. Dancing since she was 3 years old, she was destined to be a part of our journey! When not dancing or teaching, Mia prefers to be asleep! But when she hits the stage, you’ll find her jumping, turning or flipping as our resident little tumbling spitfire. She’s dabbled in all styles of dance but jazz is her favorite to perform and teach!

Mia also enjoys softball and spent 3 years as a varsity cheerleader. Through all of her activities, she’s learned - to focus on your own growth and not compare it to others - and offers this advice to her students and friends.

Mia will be graduating next weekend from Smyrna High School. She will be attending the University of Delaware, in the fall, studying Criminal Justice with aspirations of becoming a lawyer. The one thing she’s most looking forward to as she kicks off her next chapter is not having school at 7am! 😂

Mia … if our lives did not have you in it - we’d be absolutely bored! Thank you for teaching us all how not to let the small things matter. If living life unapologetically yourself was a person - it would be you! Never change! We love you! ♥️

Please join me in congratulating Mia! 🧑🏼‍🩰🎓

🎓Elysia Lynn Dunbar🎓

This season’s spotlights are going to hit hard. 😮‍💨 I’m fighting for my life over here! If you know Elysia - you know exactly why. With her contagious laugh and a plethora of “what do you mean” faces, Elysia definitely livens up the studio!

Dancing since she was 3 years old, Elysia’s love of dance always shines through. It’s guaranteed you’ll see her leaping or jumping on stage and when she’s not dancing, she loves cheer - spending 3 years as a varsity cheerleader. The best advice she shares with the younger dancers she mentors is the only way to get what you want is through hard work!

Elysia will be graduating from Smyrna High School in a few short weeks. After graduating, Elysia will be attending Del Tech enrolled in their Diagnostic Medical Sonography program to become an ultrasound technician!

Elysia … you are a gift! I am beyond proud of you and cannot wait to continue along this path with you as an adult! Keep smiling, laughing and stay true to you! We love you!♥️

Please join me in congratulating Elysia!!! 🎓🏆🧑🏼‍🩰
