Looking back at some of my favorite memories from 2025, I feel so grateful for the amazing family, friends, and experiences that made this year unforgettable. It was a wonderful school year, and I’m beyond excited to see what 2026 has in store🤍

Behind the scenes of our film shoot for “Memorial” — the final piece of our season. Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s sad to close this chapter, but my heart is full of gratitude for the time, laughter, and memories we shared creating together.

Huge shoutout to Carlos for always capturing our visions in the most beautiful way, and to my Uncle Derek & Aunt Kelly for opening their home to us and making this possible. And to Ireland 🤍— even though you’re off chasing big dreams at Alabama, your spirit was with us every step. You’ll always be part of this piece.

We fought off the bugs, stayed strong through the heat, and danced with everything you had until midnight. The kind of dedication is what makes this family so special, and we couldn't be prouder of each of you.

This captures the very heartbeat of this crew. I will miss this deeply.

Here’s to endings that feel like beginnings, and to family that dance brought together.

This summer has been filled with so much love and happiness — from spending time with family and friends, to dancing and teaching at the most wonderful studios! I can’t believe I am getting ready for Junior year!!💙💛

Suzette’s to me was never just a place where I could spend my free time and just dance. It was a place that I would consider home. A home that was filled with the most amazing people and best friends. For as long as I can remember, Suzette’s has been my only constant. The place I would come to and instantly feel better. Wearing my Suzette’s jacket was the most proud yet deserving feeling in the entire world. These people, that studio, and especially those memories will be the best things in my life.

As this chapter has closed in my book, I will never forget what it has done for me not only as a dancer, but as an individual. From staying after practice until 2am to those early practice talks, to the grind, every moment was unforgettable. I’ve learned to appreciate each and every moment, all the good, bad, and ugly, and never take a singular moment for granted. When Mrs. Sonya told us time goes by fast, I never believed her. Now that I’m done, I wish she was lying. Although I may not physically be at the studio anymore, my heart goes to the place that practically raised me. This season was truly the best season and I would do anything to just have one more moment in the classroom with my teammates and teachers.

Miss suzette and staff- I love you all more than you can imagine. My time with each and everyone of you has been nothing but simply the best. Your dedication and motivation will never go unnoticed. You’ve made me the person I am today and I’m truly more than thankful. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for letting me be my weird, goofy self. Thank you for just everything. I don’t want to let go but I know whatever happens next, you will all support me in ways I couldn’t imagine. My life would look completely different without you guys and I just wish nothing but the absolute best for each and every one of you.

@suzettesdance , you will always have my heart. I cannot wait to be your biggest cheerleaders in years to come. Forever and always, B💘

suzette’s recital 2025✔️

this past weekend I got to be back with the people and the place that built me. It’s hard to put into words just how much @suzettesdance means to me. I’ve been so lucky to come back each year since graduating and watch the studio that I love most continue to thrive and prosper through the years. this year was just a tad more special considering I got the privilege to dance again on the stage I grew up on with the people I grew up with. you don’t quite get it unless you’re in it… but this place is beyond special and is a forever home for so many people. I feel beyond fulfilled and so grateful to watch the next generation grow into such beautiful dancers at this place. yall have my heart and love forever. 🤍🤍
