⚠️ Out of an abundance of caution, all ABDC classes scheduled for tonight (Monday, April 27th) are CANCELED. We hoped the weather would move more south, but it seems this next round has the potential to be very dangerous and with the safety of our dancers, families and staff being our main priority, we feel canceling is our best option.
Stay safe! Thank you!

Just a friendly reminder that ABDC is closed this week for Spring Break. Classes resume Monday, March 30th. Enjoy your break!

After an incredible first competition filled with growth and unforgettable moments, our team is stepping back on stage this weekend at STARPOWER in Kansas City.
Dancers, remember that competition isn’t just about trophies; it’s about heart, resilience, artistry and determination. Every rehearsal, every correction, every time you pushed through when it felt hard… that’s what truly matters. Trust your training. Trust your teammates. Trust yourself. ✨
Parents, Thank you for the early mornings, the car rides, the costume prep, prop building, constant encouragement and everythjng in between. Your support behind the scenes makes everything on stage possible. We couldn’t do this without you.
We love you all 🥰

This weekend, we celebrate:
• Progress over perfection
• Teamwork over comparison
• Confidence over fear

Dancers, this is YOUR season. Own it 🔥🌟

STL bound for Believe National Talent Competition
💙🧡🥳🤩🧡💙
Our dancers have been working so HARD and we are BEYOND excited to watch them WORK the competition stage for the FIRST time this season!!!!!
Parents, thank you a MILLION a times!!!! From costuming, accessories, hair and makeup to prop details and building, making sure our dancers are fed and organizing/delegating tasks… y’all are the BEST!!! You are truly the GLUE that holds this team together and our success wouldn’t be possible without you ALL!!! This village of ours is pretty AWESOME and I am FOREVER grateful to have you all in my life!! I love you all 🥰
To our Prop Masters, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! Your hard work and creativity have not gone unnoticed. You are the BEST of the BEST!!!! We are incredibly BLESSED to have such AMAZING dance parents in our tribe!!!!
Leah, Lauryn, Messiah, Kiersten, Taylor & Brooke; my sweet seniors, THANK YOU for allowing me to be apart of your lives and dance journeys. Watching you grow into strong, independent, talented, kind, smart and beautiful young women has been an honor and I look forward to watching you shine BRIGHT this season.
Dancers, As you step into this competition season, remember this: you didn’t get here by accident. Every early morning, every sore muscle, every moment you chose discipline has built the dancer you are today. Competition isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up. Showing up for your teammates who rely on your energy and commitment. Showing up for your teachers who have poured their knowledge and belief into you. And most importantly, showing up for yourself, for the goals you set and the dancer you’re becoming.
Trust your training. Trust your body. When the music starts, let go of fear and dance with purpose, passion, and heart. Support each other fiercely, lift one another when it’s hard, and leave everything on the stage. Win or lose, your growth is the real victory. Walk on stage with confidence. Dance big. Dance brave. Dance like every moment matters, because it does.

This is your season. Own it 😘

LET’S GO LADIES 🧡💙🧡💙
