No one does it like DA!!! 🌎🥈🥉#pufeforever

Blessed is an understatement. Choosing to come to DA my senior year was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Even though the change was scary, I was welcomed into such a loving environment from day one. Thank you to all the coaches who poured their hearts into us this year. There’s truly no better way I could have ended my competitive dance career than making history with this team!

WORLDS 2026 🌍💙 🐾 🪽 ✨ 🥈🥉
First of all, I didn’t know if I would dance again after taking a year off from dancing. And never did I think I would ever have the opportunity to hit the WORLDS stage. Thank you DA for letting me be apart of this program that has truly changed my life. This program has regrown my love for dance so much stronger. Not only have I grown as a dancer, but I have grown as a person. Getting to go to rehearsal every day, being apart of this family, hitting the stage and getting this experience has been so surreal. Walking off that WORLDS stage left my heart filled with so much love and gratitude. Getting to leave WORLDS as a SILVER and BRONZE champion is even more surreal. Thank you to all the family, friends, and coaches for investing and pouring into our teams because we couldn’t have done all of this without you. Thank you coaches for creating such a special culture at DA and giving us these amazing opportunities. Lastly, thank you to my teammates who have become a sisterhood that I have grown so much love for. You guys have made this experience so beyond special. DA has my heart forever and I never wanna leave. I love you so much DA 💙 @danceathletics_plano #PUFE

There’s nothing quite like seeing your girls become silver & bronze world champions for the first time, and doing it alongside some of the greatest people. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Jesus for Season 3; you were unforgettable 🌎💙🪽✨ I love you @danceathletics_plano
