We LOVE when our littlest dancers start recognizing the things they’re learning in class out in the real world 🩰🩵

15 SEASONS OF DAXIV | A Little Piece of Our Story 🩵

Last time, we shared the little one-room space where DAXIV got its start while our studio was still being finished. This is what we were waiting for… our first official Dance Academy XIV studio!

For several years, this was home. This is where DAXIV really started to grow — more dancers walked through the doors, more classes filled the schedule, and so many memories were made within these walls.

Eventually, we reached a pretty exciting problem… We outgrew it 🥹

DAXIV needed more room to keep growing, which would eventually lead us to the studio we call home today 🩵

Were you part of DAXIV during the old studio days? What’s your favorite memory from this space? And if you have any old DAXIV pictures hiding in your camera roll, share them in the comments 👇🏻 We’d love to see them!

A little note to their future selves 🩵

Our Junior competition dancers wrote letters to themselves to open before their first competition of the season. They included goals they want to work toward, compliments to themselves, and most importantly, words that were kind and encouraging.

Because how they speak to themselves matters, too!

We want our dancers walking into competition season believing in themselves, being proud of how far they’ve come, and knowing that their worth has nothing to do with a score or placement 🩵

Dancing may not last forever, but what it leaves them with can! 🩵

15 SEASONS OF DAXIV | A Little Piece of Our Story 🩵

Before there were five studios, a lobby, competition teams, hundreds of dancers, and 15 seasons of memories… There was a dream.

In 2011, Miss Amanda took that dream and made it a reality when she opened the doors of Dance Academy XIV.

Our original studio space wasn’t quite finished when she opened, so for the first few months, we danced in a little one-room space. There were just 15 dancers, one room, and a whole lot of excitement and curiosity about what this could become.

And while this little space may look very different from the DAXIV you know today, this is where it all began — diagonally from where we are today!

So, as we celebrate 15 seasons of DAXIV, we want to start where every story should start, at the beginning. Thank you, Miss Amanda, for starting the story. 🩵

Over the next few weeks, we’re sharing 15 Seasons of DAXIV: A Little Piece of Our Story.

And this is where our story begins ✨

✨Make some time for YOU tonight✨

Movement doesn’t have to look a certain way. You don’t have to be the strongest, most flexible, or most experienced person in the room... You just have to show up.

Give yourself the time to move your body, build strength, stretch, breathe, laugh, and reconnect with yourself. The benefits of movement go far beyond what we see on the outside; it’s about how you feel when you leave.

Maybe tonight you need to dance.
Maybe you need to slow down.
Maybe you need to stretch.
Maybe you just need some time that belongs to you.

Whatever your body needs, make time for it. Join us tonight for some of our adult classes:

6:30 PM — Adult Dance Fitness
7:15 PM — Pilates
7:15 PM — Adult Dance
8:00 PM — Yoga

Come as you are. No pressure to be “good.” No expectations. Just some time to move for you 🩵
