A few days late because I've been soaking up some much-needed family time 💕, but what an INCREDIBLE weekend we had at dance nationals!

SUDC took the stage with confidence, passion, and determination, and we are BEYOND proud of the dancers and performances that were given. We came home with some incredible placements, awards, and accolades, including top in categories and overalls, two Mic drop awards, and special recognitions from the judges. We had seven dancers who were invited to and participated in the opening number together with dancers from other studios.

We also had two routines - Fix My Crown (petite small group) and Mike and Sully (petite duo) - that were invited back to compete in the Encore performances and BOTH of those routines then won overall and became National Champions!!!

Watching everyone come alive and leave everything on that stage...from unforgettable performances to so many personal bests...what an amazing way to end our season! 💜✨

To our seniors—we will miss you more than you will ever know. Thank you for your dedication, leadership and example, and the memories you've given this team over the years.

Thank you to our dance families for your unwavering support and constant encouragement and for making the Nationals event possible for the SUDC team! We are so very grateful for each and every one of you!

We are so excited for the year ahead and to see what this team accomplishes! !?!

As this past weekend wrapped up our regional competition dance season, it’s hard to put into words just how proud we are of this team. During the season, we earned many first place, top overall, and notable awards. Even more so than the honors, trophies, and scores, the growth this season has been incredible in so many ways… perseverance through challenges/setbacks/injuries, growth in technique, confidence, character, passion and showmanship, just to name a few. Watching these girls come alive on stage and just have fun has made us smile more than anything! We are so proud of all they’ve accomplished so far this season, but the journey doesn’t end here. Next up, Nationals!
