Bartolo is so amazing with these young men. Supporting, encouraging and teaching them - and yes, always having his eyes on them 😅👀👉🏻

Our teens are amazing dancers AND they’re so creative! ✨✨👏🏻

Happy August! ✨💖 We can't WAIT to dance with you this month!

Congratulations to our Princess 👸🏻 Aaliyah ✨🩵✨ You are such an incredible young woman and you deserve all the happiness!

It was a pleasure working with you to create your beautiful quinceañera choreography. 🩵

What a fantastic Summer Showcase we had this year! ✨🏖️🌺🌴✨ We were so impressed with your beautiful routines - it really was the perfect display of all your hard work, talents and skills that we're so proud to see in the studio every day!

We can't thank you enough for all your support of our students and 💖 to our talented photographer, Juan, for capturing these moments, to Erick for music and, of course, the glamourous Third Street Theater for being the perfect stage for our students to shine on!

The Phoenix summer is still HOT 🔥 but we're already looking forward to our Christmas showcase ❄️

The Summer Showcase was Robert's biggest dance challenge yet, and he was ready for it! It pushed him forward as a dancer and performer. Coach Vladi says Robert likes to work hard and wants to look good on the dance floor.

Karina is one of our newest students, she is very focused and disciplined in her lessons 💪🏼

Karina likes to challenge herself and that makes it very easy to work with her. She’s such a joy to have in the studio because she is a super friend with all of the other students ❤️

Whenever she dances shows us her sensuality, energy and above all her good attitude!!! Karina we want to see you in your next challenge! ✨

✨✨Emilie! ✨✨

Emilie has become our ace in the hole Moonlight dancer! After she stepped in at the last minute for the Christmas showcase, we knew she was our go-to when Marie became ill. Emilie learned the cha-cha with Robert and Vladi in a week and she ROCKED it!! in addition to dancing in ladies formation, the teens formation and the solo with Lexy Josh and Camila! AND Emilie designed the program for the entire show too! We can’t say enough about her and can’t wait to see what she does next 🔥❤️

When Alisa and Ivan are on the stage, you know it will be a memorable showcase! Alisa and Ivan, you always bring such bold, powerful, beautiful and passionate energy to your performances.

We're so proud to call you part of our 🖤🔥

Anna and Bartolo closed out our Summer Showcase with such a beautiful routine 💜🩰

Our sweet baby ballet class might have been the most proud of their teacher, Anna, a real-life ballerina!

valenzuela says, For me, it was an honor to share the stage and even more to be able to dance with Anna, an excellent dancer!!! We had never danced together before, and we have two completely different dance styles, but the most surprising thing was that we still had a fantastic connection! When setting up the choreography, we only practiced four times. It was effortless to work with her. I told her, let's do this and this and then this, and that's it!!! (See.. we told you... real-life ballerina 😘!!!)

Anna followed my instructions just as I told her, then she put on her style, and I did mine, which made our beautiful dance look even better.

Anna, thank you for agreeing to dance with me - I hope it will not be the last time!

All this magic was 's idea! ✨✨ It occurred to her that we should dance together, and she chose the song.

Beth and Keith, you're just the epitome of fun! You always bring so much energy to everything you do 🤍✨

Santa's on vacation, but we're not!

Marie says, "As their coach, I am so incredibly proud of these two beautiful dancers.💗They both wanted to dance this International standard/ Argentine Tango routine because of the song so we took this opportunity to push them to the next level. As they took on this challenge, they grew personally and artistically in so many unexpected ways personally and artistically. Congratulations to Jackson and Amanda! You two are a dream to teach, and I am honored to be a part of your dance journey💗💃💗
My heart beams with pride💕"

Coach Bartolo says, It was easy to teach this group of young people the choreography of Chiquilla, because I know what kind of music most of them like! (A really awesome benefit of having personalized coaching and dancing in a studio that's more like family.. 😉✨❤️) It was super easy for these talented teens to learn this fun routine!

Chiquilla is a cumbia song, but we tried to play a little bit with the choreography with cumbia, salsa and mambo steps to make it more fun!

We cannot have a show without the participation of Erick and Mary together 😘🙌🏼✨🌊☀️🏝️

It is so fun and challenging at the same time in practice because these two have a very good connection when they dance together that they become pure laughter and infect us with their energy and fun every time that they dance Erick and Mary always surprise us with fun routines, we can’t wait for their next showcase!!!

Coach Chad says, You never know what you can accomplish until you push yourself through it. When Emily approached me and said she wanted to create a showdance, I said, Great, bring me a song that inspires you. She said I am glad you said that and showed me Billy Idol: Dancing With Myself. I was amazed; she was inspired and together we created a quickstep/swing that really highlights the punk rocker hidden behind that sweet smile. 😉🤘🏼

She trained extra hard to be able to keep up with the energy of the dance, grew by leaps and bounds, never complained and never quit. Now I am inspired to work with a student that pushes herself so completely to grow into the piece she wants to perform! Rock on Emily! 🎸

Coach Bartolo says, I was very happy to dance and share the stage again with Ari and Cristy dancing Flores de Mexico, and with Jackson, Robert and Amanda being able to teach them a little bit of Mexican folklore! It was very easy to form the dance partners since everyone is very passionate in the dance. 💙

Flores de Mexico was a high society dance of 1850 when the man wore a bowler hat and the top hat, gloves, cane, etc. Ladies wore a corset and stowed away their hair adorned with ostentatious ringlets, a fan, elegant hats, umbrellas, gloves. We had so much fun playing with accessories to make it as similar as possible!

Those backstage talks with friends are everything. 🙌🏻
