The best week with the best people! 🩷👑☺️🫂

Thank you so much @dmanational for making this week so special for everyone! Getting to learn from so many incredible instructors and meeting people who have now become some of my closest friends are some of my favorite parts about DMA Nationals. Being a part of such an incredible organization and legacy is something I am forever grateful for.

Being a top 10 semi finalist for Miss Dance of America is something that I have worked all year for and I still can’t believe my hard work paid off. Competing on the DMA Nationals stage alongside such talented individuals was an honor and an experience I will never forget.

@amyferil thank you for making this week so memorable and for helping me every step of the way. I am so grateful for your endless love and encouragement, and always being there whenever I needed you! Thank you for always reminding me to trust myself and take in all that this week had to offer. I will forever cherish the memories we made together and I am so grateful I get to experience DMA with you.

To my fellow title holders, I had the best time with all of you this week and I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful and loving people!

And of course, a huge thank you to my @eminencedancecomplex and @txdancemasters family for being there and cheering me on all week! I truly couldn’t have done it without all of your love and support.

Although my time competing on the DMA stage has come to an end, I am forever changed by what I have learned and gained from this organization. I cant wait to be on the other side of things and see what the future has in store! 🤍🤍

Let’s hear it for Skylar! 🌟👑

Huge congratulations to our girl for placing in the Top 10 for Miss Dance of America! Competing on that stage is an honor in itself, but ranking among the absolute best in the country is a whole different level of excellence.

We’ve been so blessed to meet so many amazing families in such a short period of time through @eminencedancecomplex, but Sheperd has been a wonderful friend and mentor to Emery already! He even called Emery on FaceTime to calm his nerves and give him the best pep talk before his very first company audition. 🥹

As Shep competes @dmanational this week and enters the second half of the competition we want to wish him the very best of luck, and remind him of the light that shines from him both on and off the stage. You’ve got this, Shep! We hope you win, Shep! 💙🫂

End of the 2025-2026 Season Banquet 🤠

The banquet is always one of my favorite times of the year to celebrate our team, our growth, and it’s a great kick off before nationals! Throw in the cowboy/Toy Story theme, and I’m ready with my boots and hat!

I’ll be sad to say goodbye to my first solo in a week, but incredibly grateful for a Top Tap recognition tonight. Looking forward to leaving it all on the stage at nationals with my team!
