Unpacking my bags from @starpowertalent Nationals in Atlantic City and I miss it already. It was an unforgettable week, and I’m so proud of everything my team @impactdanceproject accomplished with our SZN8 routines - 4 Victory Cups, 1 Premier Cup, and 25+ national champion banners and pinnacle crystals.

My solo, Once Upon Another Time choreographed by @tiffanirussell , placed 3rd overall and was chosen to compete at the Battle for Title. I was so grateful for the chance to perform my solo one last time and so happy to be named JR Miss Starpower!! I was also excited to win the 12 & Over Improv Challenge, which pushed me out of my comfort zone to dance improv with the teens for the very first time.

I’m so grateful to Miss Tiffani for challenging me with Once Upon Another Time this season. Looking back at our four solos together—from All I Want to River of Tears, Fine Line, and now Once Upon Another Time— it’s been an amazing journey and I’ve grown so much. Thank you for always believing in me and for pushing me to become a better dancer. 🤍

And, thank you to all our student assistants, teachers and our Director @mtatiya for every class, every rehearsal, every correction, and every word of encouragement. It’s all the moments high and low the entire season that led us here and I’m so grateful for all of it. @briannaafree @sttephlove @eli.snyds @naidulaveen @coachdraper_e2p @_justkateandrus

Finally, this week was extra special because of all the time in between dances spent with my family and teammates - running around the Harrah’s, making pins, playing games, getting gelato, and cheering each other on. I’m so lucky to be part of this team and super thankful we get to make all these memories together.

Until we are together again for SZN9 … can’t wait 💚🖤🤎🪩

Last week I had the chance to train at the Joffrey Ballet School Summer Intensive West at Cal State Long Beach in California. It was my first time staying away from home for a summer intensive, and I’m so grateful for the experience, the friendships, and everything I learned. 🩰💙 @joffreyschool @summeratjoffrey

I also got to spend time with family in San Diego and watch some amazing California sunsets. ☀️🌊🕶️

Wishing all my new Joffrey friends an amazing upcoming season! 🩷

Until next summer! 🤍🫶🩰

Had so much fun this past weekend at @energyndc in Baltimore with my team @impactdanceproject !!!🪩

We came home with the Top Studio Award for highest overall group dance scores at the competition, and I’m so proud of our Jr. small group Hide & Seek for earning the highest 11 & under score of the weekend ⭐️

I loved getting the chance to do the improv competition (shoutout to @autumnakaac and @cambri_gary for making the final round 🎉) and even faced my fear of public speaking in the 11 & under Title Competition 😳

My lyrical solo Once Upon Another Time choreographed by @tiffanirussell placed 2nd overall in the Jr. Level 3 category, and I was honored to win Title and a Judges Award for choreography✨

So grateful for my teammates who always support each other. I can’t believe we only have one more regional together in SZN8 🫶🥹

And finally, thank you to our director @mtatiya and teachers @briannaafree @eli.snyds @sttephlove @cdrape0208 for always cheering us on from the front row and helping us be our best 💚🤎🖤 taken in Brooklyn Park, Maryland by @peyton_degener
