Thank you @yagp for an incredible weekend. There is so much amazing talent at YAGP so to have my contemporary solo recognized here means so much.

I am so grateful for @larkinballetconservatory and @larkindancestudio for the training we receive every day and the opportunities like this to take what we learn in the studio and share it on stage.

77 years of excellence. A legacy built one dancer, one generation and one performance at a time.

For decades, 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 has set an extraordinary standard, creating a legacy that continues to inspire the dance community.

In 2026, that legacy reached another unforgettable milestone when Larkin Dance Studio was named the inaugural recipient of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐏𝐔𝐒 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝.

Take a look inside the studio, the history and the people behind the 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.

Congratulations, Larkin! ❤️

Now… 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭?

The 2027 OPUS Award awaits in 𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬 & 𝐎𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨.
