POV: nationals with staff = 47,000+ steps, searching for the best gelato, multiple Red Bulls, a Swig detour for dirty sodas, dressing up for themed days, taking Xene’s class at Reflections, wayyyy too many Top Golf donut holes, and celebrating the MOST dances invited back to Turbulence Showdown in Kick It Up history 🫶✨

A huge thank you to our team ❤️
Nationals 2026, you were a good one!!!

Wait… let me wipe the camera 🫶✨

Because when we look around and remember what this is really all about…
it's the people we surround ourselves with.

We see teammates fixing each other’s costumes in the wings.
We see parents carrying bags, steaming costumes, and cheering until they lose their voices.
We see seniors soaking in their lasts and little ones dreaming about their firsts.
We see hugs after awards, inside jokes in hallways, and dancers who choose each other over and over again.

We are SO proud of our dancers and families for making Nationals 2026 one we’ll never forget 🤍
