Today was my first Latin ballroom competition! ✨💃

Such an exciting day competing at the San Francisco Autumn Dance Classic! 🍂 

10 heats of International Latin across the Closed Silver and Closed Gold levels — Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive! I’m so happy to have earned nine 1st-place finishes and one 2nd-place finish! 🏆

After just nine months of ballroom training, it’s been so exciting to challenge myself and explore a completely new side of dance. So much to learn, and I’m loving every minute of it!

A special thank you to my amazing coach, Timea @sizzlinglatin_dancestudio for your guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and for helping me grow in such a short time! 

Thank you @brandonleff for igniting the ballroom fire in me this past year on @ladancemagic Company! And to @kailynnfortner for this gorgeous custom costume, shoes and accessories to help me look and feel the part today! 🤩

Ballroom is an entirely new world for me but I am so grateful for this positive first experience and can’t wait for what’s to come!

Blue Jean Dreams 👖💙 @hollywoodbowl .. Summer may be over, but this show will be staying with me forever 😉 Not only was dancing @spencerliff ‘s choreo the best,  but he designed all the incredible costumes as well!! And to perform Dancing Queen, with the Queen @msleasalonga , was such an honor and amazing time onstage 🙏🏼🪩 Getting to share  the stage with so many talented and beautiful dancers is always the absolute best. And thank you to @d8clarice for everything and helping us kill it out there!! Miss you all and thanks for a summer I’ll never forget ;) 🎆 #hollywoodbowl #broadway #musicaltheatrelife #theatrekids #theatrekid

JumpStart 2026 - the most magical 

There was something in the energy from the very first class, so much warmth, positivity and genuine love for dance. Our faculty brought it all, and that energy radiated through every room and every dancer.

We watched learning happen. Growth happen. Achievements happen.

Nerves turned into confidence🩵
New techniques clicked💜
New tricks were unlocked🩷
Dancers pushed beyond what they thought they could do🤍
New emotions were discovered through movement & Friendships were made.💜

And so many moments reminded us exactly why we created JumpStart in the first place.

To our incredible faculty 🫶🏻 thank you. Your classes were perfection, your energy was infectious and your inspiration was endless. Thank you for pouring so much into every dancer who stepped into your room.

To our Assistants: no one does it better. 💜 You represented JumpStart and Elite with excitement, commitment, professionalism and class. We couldn’t be prouder of the example you set all weekend long.

To our Movement Team: thank you for being the smiling faces, the hype crew, the helping hands and the energy in every room. You brought everything you had to the dance floor and helped make this weekend what it was.

And to every dancer and dance family who joined us thank you for trusting us, showing up ready to learn and bringing your incredible energy with you. Whether this was your first JumpStart or you’ve grown up with us, you are part of what makes this weekend so special.

10 YEARS OF JUMPSTART. 🥹💜

Ten years of dancing.
Ten years of learning.
Ten years of friendships, inspiration, growth and unforgettable memories.

And somehow, it feels like we’re only getting started.

Here’s to the next ten. ✨
