WOW. What a season! That’s a wrap on our competition season, and we are so excited for recital! We love you all!

The studio is closed in observance of Memorial Day… in memory of many, in honor of all 🇺🇸

Thank you to the incredible women & men of the past, present, & future who have fought for our freedoms. We honor you today & everyday.

We will see you back in class tomorrow, Tuesday May 26!

Our hearts are incredibly heavy as we mourn the tragic loss of a young member of our community.

While we did not have the privilege of knowing him personally at Evolution, we feel the profound weight of this loss alongside our neighbors.

No words can ease the pain of losing a child, but please know that our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with his family, friends, and everyone affected by this tragedy. We stand with our community during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace 🤍🕊️

UPDATE: Please see the Go Fund Me link listed below and donate what you can, if you can, to help Jackson’s family during this unimaginable crisis.
