You’d be surprised how often this happens b ur we have another case of the switcharoo shoes!!! If you walked away with a size 3 of these shoes please return them! We have your size 2 here:)))

We love our FPDS instructors!! Can you believe these tiny dancers and actors are the same people that are now teaching class and inspiring MORE tiny performers? In the comments, try to match the throwback photo number to the instructor. (There is one photo of each current FPDS instructor)

We had SO MUCH FUN at Nationals at the East Coast Elite Dance Challenge this week! These kids have the sweetest bond: they pump each other up, support each other when things are challenging, and always share so much laughter!

On top of plenty of water park time (and some yummy food!), these gals attended several master classes, learned and danced in the opening number to the Showcase, and Lillianna learned and danced in the closing dance for senior dancers!

Here's a quick run down of scores and awards--we couldn't be more proud of how hard they worked this season! We love you all and can't wait to see what next season brings! 😘

I'm Cute (Addie, Elliot, June musical theater): High Gold, 1st in Category, and a giant trophy (almost bigger than Addie!) for Most Entertaining.

Before You Go (Elliot, Lillianna tap): Empire Elite Platinum, 2nd in Category, and a Magical Footwork judges award.

Drip (Eva, Gracie, June hip hop): Platinum and 7th in Category.

Lacy (Elliot tap): Empire Elite Platinum and 4th in Category.

Heartbeats (June, Lillianna modern): Empire Elite Platinum and 4th in Category.

That's My Girl (Elliot, Katie tap and pointe): Platinum and 6th in Category.

Falling (Katie lyrical): Platinum.

Changes (Katie, Lillianna lyrical): Empire Elite Platinum and 5th in Category.

River (Elliot, Eva, Gracie, June, Katie, Lillianna tap): Empire Elite Platinum, 2nd in Category, a Total Package Standout Star award, and runner up to the Showcase Grand Champion.

Ends of the Earth (Elliot, Eva, Gracie, Katie, Lillianna lyrical): Empire Elite Platinum, 4th in Category and a Technical Beauty judges award.

On top of that (!!!) Katie won the improv contest and Lillianna received a Premiere Star Award for being such an inspiration to our studio!

Congrats, girls!
