We are OPEN today as it is our last week of classes before our recital next weekend! We look forward to dancing with everyone one last time this season!

✨ Senior Spotlight: Piper D. ✨
🤍 Favorite Memory:
Winter Show because it’s so stress-free, and I get to dance with my friends and just have fun.
🤍 Shoutouts:
-Miss Ryann for being the reason I started dance and for always believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
-All of my Motivate teachers for helping me become the dancer I am today.
-My mom for allowing me to do as much dance as I want and always doing whatever she could to make it possible.
-And all of my teammates for reminding me why I love dance so much and helping me realize there’s so much more to dance than the score you get.
🤍 Piper is "really sad about graduating and loves motivate dance with her whole heart."

Piper has been a huge part of Motivate Dance since we opened in 2017. She has been a part of MDPT since the very beginning and a member of our Elite Company since its creation in 2023. Piper has also served on Jr. Staff and is now a part of our Staff team.
Piper is a huge role model at Motivate Dance and truly embodies everything we hope to instill in our dancers. She is kind, resilient, committed, and incredibly talented. We can’t believe she is finally a senior. She will be so deeply missed, but she will always have a home here at Motivate. 💜

✨Senior Spotlight: Allie I. ✨
🤍Favorite Memory: Getting to dance with Reece, Lily, and Piper- especially for the last time together at recital.
🤍Shoutouts: Miss Emma and Miss Sam for always being so accepting and supportive.

Allie has been part of our Motivate Dance family and MDPT for 3 years, and she has made such a huge impact in that time. She never fails to amaze us with her kindness, welcoming energy, and hard work. As a member of our Jr. Staff, she has been a wonderful role model and leader to those around her. We are so excited to watch her succeed in her next endeavors, but we will miss her so much. We love you, Allie! 💜

And just like that, we’ve completed our final competition of the season. Top placements, special awards, studio awards, and incredible growth and commitment this season, MDPT. We love this team💜 Now onto recital🤩
