It’s finally here—FINALS DAY! 💛 The energy is electric, and we are ready to leave it all on that stage.

This week has been an emotional and incredible whirlwind as we officially wrapped our Season 3 routines. Seeing the growth, the grit, and the pure heart these dancers have poured into every single rehearsal has been the absolute highlight of my year. You all are so much more than just dancers to me; you are artists, you are fierce competitors, and you are family. Watching you step into your power and reach this championship stage is a dream come true, and I am constantly in awe of how special and talented you are.

We are so honored to be here at West Coast Nationals, surrounded by such immense talent, but my eyes are only on our incredible team. Tonight, we have 2 routines competing in the championship round, and I couldn’t be more proud of the legacy you’ve built this season. Out of 1500+ routines this week, our tiny but mighty team made it to the TOP 4.

Let’s finish this season with everything we’ve got with our finals routines. One last time, one heart, one team. Let’s show them exactly what we’re made of! Reppin’ @themovementlabdance until the very end. Let’s do this!

We are onstage at 2:40-3:00 PM at spotlightevents.com (#40 and #46) & click Live Stream - Stage 1 Main ✨

that's a wrap

I'm gunna miss this! I announced that after this summer I will no longer be teaching as I take actions to move forward in my career. While I am so excited for this change, I will deeply miss these studios and all the dancers I have had the privilege to work with. Being able to share my art with this community where I grew up has meant so much to me. I have grown as an educator, choreographer, and individual these last few years. This community has given me heaps of love and I appreciate every ounce of it. I will take everything I have learned and all the love I have felt with me as I move forward. Thank you to everyone who has made these last few years so special.

GIRLS FROM GEORGIA — 🖤🪓🎞️💋

Always channeling their inner-rebel onstage! This season has been a journey, excited to see the chapter close with a bang at NATTYS in t-minus 6 weeks. Our tiny but mighty team is something special, and they are going to rep @themovementlabdance stunningly in SOCAL.

One last time, let’s do it. ✨
