What a weekend for Rise Up Academy! 🔥
Our tumbling and trampoline team took the State competition by storm and left it all on the floor. With 23 State Champions across all three disciplines, these athletes proved what hard work, focus, and heart can accomplish.
From the first pass to the final routine, every athlete represented Rise Up with determination and confidence. The energy, the teamwork, the support for one another—it was all there, and it showed in a BIG way.
We’re beyond proud of this team and everything they’ve achieved. Now it’s time to take that momentum to the next level…
➡️ Nationals in June, here we come!
Let’s keep pushing, growing, and rising together 💪✨

It’s never easy saying goodbye to people who’ve meant so much to our Rise Up Family 💜.
Emily and Melania, as you head off to Florida, we just want you to know how deeply you’ll be missed. You’ve brought so much talent, energy, and heart into every class, rehearsal, and performance. The studio won’t feel the same without you.

We’ll always cherish the time we shared—every laugh, every challenge, every moment of growth. Watching you both evolve as dancers and individuals has been such a gift.
Wishing you all the success and happiness in this next chapter. Florida is lucky to have you ☀️🌴
Don’t forget—you’ll always have a home here.

A few moments frozen in time from our unforgettable weekend at Luxxe Competition ✨

Every photo captures the heart of it all—the passion, the energy, the teamwork, and the joy of performing. From powerful finishes to quiet in-between moments, each one tells a piece of the story. 💫

We made history with 31 first-place finishes across all levels, and 14 routines earning the coveted ELITE (near-perfect score)!
So proud of what this team accomplished and the memories we made along the way. These are the moments we’ll carry with us long after the music fades. 💙
