Dreams really do come true. 🥹 💭💜

I am so incredibly honored to have been named a 2026 @dancekar Senior Elite Protégé! This is something I have been working so hard towards the past 2 years since I first started my Protégé journey, and I am so grateful to have finally achieved this goal of mine. I have grown up on the KAR stage and at KAR conventions since the age of 3, so this feels like such a full circle moment for me!

A big thank you to @dancekar @nomeara @lonniolson @ryannalvarez and @britneyhall for seeing me, believing in me, and allowing me the opportunity to be an Elite Protégé for this convention season. I look up to all of you so much and can’t wait to be mentored by you all, as well as the rest of the faculty, for another season. I am so so thankful for you guys!

Another thank you to @kristynnurkka @christyannelopez @jocelyn.rene.basham @brittbloch @appleadrian @papawizard @carrieluvv and the rest of the production/ media team for everything you did behind the scenes to make this week @hollywooddanceexperience nothing short of incredible!

Special thank you to @blakemcgrath and all of the faculty I have the privilege of learning from every week on the @blakemcgrathmentorship. This program has helped my growth and confidence in the convention room tremendously over the past year. I could not be more grateful for this program and everything I have gained from it!

Lastly, thank you to the rest of my dance teachers, both in-person and online, for everything you have poured into me to help me succeed. I am so incredibly thankful for you all and couldn’t have done it without you! @awa_acrowithash @movesbyash @bodybreaker @austinshaffer4 @sarah.chavez16 @lily_staib @faith_kaz plus many more❤️

This week was a testimony that with hard work, determination, and never giving up, your dreams can become a reality. I can’t wait to soak up every moment of this fall and I’m already counting down the days until Anaheim weekend. I can’t wait to see everyone on tour! 🫶🫶 #earnednotgiven
