As our 2025-2026 season comes to an end and we say goodbye to our coaches, we took the evening to reminisce on what an amazing season we had at our end of the year banquet! We can’t wait for season 2026-2027 ✨🪩

See below for a look into our new Head Coach, Olivia Kerst’s dance background! 💙✨

I grew up dancing at Carol Grayson School of Dance and started competing with them at the age of 8. I was also a Dazzler while I attended school at MAT from 8th to 10th grade! After graduating high school, my dance journey continued when I danced on the SunDolls Dance Team at the University of South Florida from 2019 until I graduated in 2022, and I had the honor of being a captain during my final year on the team.

While in college, I also taught our competitive dance teams at my former studio until it closed in 2022. After that, I continued to teach competitive dance independently and began teaching at All Saints Academy and Wendy’s Dance Company.

Coming back to MAT as the Head Coach of the Dazzlers feels incredibly full circle! I’m so excited to give these dancers the same unforgettable experiences, growth, and memories that dance gave me.

Let’s make it an amazing season! 💫

Tomorrow is the LAST day to register & receive a Dazzlers Dance Clinic T-Shirt!!

✨My fav memory this season would have to be our practices!! Towards the end of the year we were practicing both pep rally and Christmas parade, so it was definitely hectic but so fun✨

🥳For next season I’m so excited to build a relationships with new teammates and make fun memories, and hopefully do competitions!🥳
