Double platinum, pnt apprentice invite/dancer standout, Broadway Bound and Beyond Judges joice award, 1st overall senior advanced solos, and 5TH over ALL senior advanced solos, trios, and duets!

I was nervous about being in advanced for the first time this season but I'd say I've done very well. The best part is I got another year on this team to keep growing and becoming better before college! by @danicaspocket

My days as a dancer at Paola School of Dance had come to an end. Through blood, sweats, tears, trophies, long nights, early mornings, and friendships I have learned the most important lesson this final season. I have learned to hold the ones you love closer and bring a camera to capture the moments; you never know when your last moment is with them. The trophies and awards were great but being close with all the people you love is better than any award. Trophies can get dusty but not love. A special thank you to Kylie for always being emotional back so I didn’t feel so bad for crying because I always had her. She came into my life at random and I haven’t been able to let her go yet. Another big thank you to Amber for sobbing with me backstage. It has been my honor to work with her. And to all the moms of PSOD, I think of you guys every time I have a bad day because I know you will be there for me whenever I need you. As for the dads of PSOD talk are the goat. Thank you Christine and Alex for always encouraging me to dance and put my heart on the floor. Lastly, thank you Levi for all your grace and understanding through this hard transition.

This change is the biggest and hardest thing I am having to do. Yet, this isn’t the end of my dancing career. I am not giving up. This is the beginning of a new journey and when you see me again you won’t recognize me. However hard it is to move on from PSOD, I cannot and will not forget where I came from. This studio taught me to be humble and grateful for everything I have. I will take the endless amount of lessons this lovely place has taught me and apply it as I head to college. I love and already miss the studio. I am glad I stuck around to see how great PSOD is. PSOD Strong #Abovetherest ✌️🩷 by @danicaspocket

It comes full circle.

My final recital. Many of you will never understand what these people, memories, and mentorship mean to me at Paola School of Dance. 🩷 For a long time, I felt lost and alone. Little did I know, I was surrounded by people who loved me. I just didn't know how to receive or reciprocate the appreciation. A big thank you to all who endured my growing pains lol. And to the girl I was 4 years ago, I don't blame you. Your pains and worries were valid. I wish I could tell you how much growth you'll experience and how it will kindle your dreams and aspirations. I know you weren't proud of yourself then, but you are now and so many others are proud of you too! I wish you could've seen the audience and loud they were for YOU. People who knew you cheered and so did the people who didn't. These tears tonight are not tears of sadness but of joy for the amazing opportunity this place have given me. It has been such a beautiful privilege.

Thank you to my teachers for helping me flourish and a bigger thank you to all the positive (and negative) people who shaped who I am today. Kylie I wish we had more time together. I love dancing with you. You literally have been my back bone for such a long time you don't even know it💓

And a special thank you to a special someone for being by my side all 4 years. Someone who heard my cries and the craziest stories after dance.

Every word of my senior solo meant something to me. It is the first dance I have ever put my heart and soul into. Dance was my first love and definitely the hardest one. I have always been the underdog and I suppose I have to continue to be one. This isn't goodbye PSOD just a cya later because for now I am on my own, I always have been 🩷🖤🤍 by @danicaspocket
