Just over a month ago, I had the honor of competing at @dmanational and it was the week of a lifetime! Thank you to my amazing fellow @txdancemasters titleholders for making it one of the best weeks of my life. I can't imagine my first trip to New England without you guys!!! I am happy to say I was awarded 1st runner up for Jr Mr Dance of America and won the class award for High Jazz, High Tap, and High Interview scores.

Thank you Mrs @amyferil for bringing DMA into my life. I am a better dancer and a better person because of it. I love you so much and will never be able to say thank you enough for all you've done for me! Thank you Mr @harrynathan for choreographing my first ever not-tap-solo. I loved it and it was so fun bringing your vision to life. We put in a lot of hours working on this and I love what we created together. Thank you to my amazing teachers at @eminencedancecomplex for cheering me on and helping me grow and bring my best!!

Congratulations to everyone who showed up and did the work to make it to the nationals stage! It is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, and I can't wait until my next trip to nationals.

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! 🤍🤍

And just like that, my reign as Teen Miss Dance of TXDM has come to an end. What a privilege it has been and an experience I will treasure forever!
This past weekend I helped with class auditions and watched so many dancers give it their all for the chance to win the 2026 crown and title. Everyone worked incredibly hard, and I felt so honored to witness and be a small part of their journey.
To make the weekend even more special, I was able to crown my best friend as the new Teen Miss Dance of TXDM @lyv.love.dance! Also, a huge congratulations to @elisestella.dance @allypool_dances @danceshepdance @skylar.knezek for winning their titles! I’m still processing it all — what a full-circle, unforgettable ending to the most amazing year. 🤍 @txdancemasters

I think proud is a really big understatement when I say how proud I am of Ellie this past year. She worked so hard and she represented her studio and chapter in ways I would have never expected or dreamed of. She got to hold the title of Junior Miss Dance of TXDM for an entire year and never stopped surprising me along the way. I have always strived to make sure my kids are kind and hard working and always worry about if I’m doing a good job or not as a parent. This weekend I had a parent who I didn’t know, come up to me and tell me that my child was so sweet and encouraging and so supportive of every single contestant. This is the kind of person I want Ellie to be proud of. No trophy or win will ever mean as much to me as a compliment about my child being kind and having a heart for everyone. Keep up the good work kiddo. I’m so unbelievable proud of the person you are becoming inside and out!

Ainsley had what she described as “the best weekend ever”! She started on Friday with a solo preview to the judges. On Saturday she completed Professional Interviews and class auditions in ballet, tap, jazz & modern. Today, she competed her solo on stage.

As a first time contestant in Teen Miss Dance of TXDM, Ainsley earned 2nd Runner Up and High Interview! We are proud of her determination, work ethic, and kind heart. Huge congrats to her, her fellow finalists, and the new 2026 Teen Miss!

This one is one for the memory books for sure❤️

(Shout out to all her incredible teachers—grateful
is an understatement!!!)

Tomorrow’s the big day!! It’s been such a bittersweet weekend! I can’t wait to crown the next Miss Junior Dance of TXDM but I’m so sad to be giving up my title. So much hard work and emotions went into this past year and it’s been an absolute joy to be apart of this amazing chapter and community. I learned so much and I’ll never forget this opportunity! To the next Miss Junior Dance, take it all in and enjoy every bit of your moment! It passes by in the blink of an eye. Enjoy so many of the fun moments and try not to stress over the little things! You’ve got this!!!
