✨ Senior Spotlight: Katelynn Trenka ✨

K is truly a one-in-a-million senior. Thank you for being such an important part of DF-1. We love you, we’re so proud of you, and we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish. 💜

Katelynn’s thank yous:

Ms. Lauren, thank you for believing in me since the day I walked into DF-1. You’ve always made me feel supported and confident in myself, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Ms. April, thank you for making DF-1 feel like a second home. You created such a special environment for all of us, and I’m really thankful I got to grow up here.

Ms. Natalie, thank you for all the laughs, inside jokes, and memories over the years. You’ve always been someone I could count on, and being your student has meant so much to me. You can stay with me forever.

Ms. Courtney, thank you for being my solo teacher these past three years and for always pushing me to be better. You’ve helped me grow so much, not just as a dancer but as a person too.

To my Level 5 team, thank you for making this season so special. And to my family and all the dance parents, thank you for always supporting me and trusting me with your little dancers. It means more than you know.

Season 24 Team Auditions Are Here 💜

At DF-1, our dancers receive high-level training while learning the value of commitment, teamwork, confidence, and discipline. The lessons learned in the studio carry far beyond the stage.

Our team is a place where lifelong friendships are built and dancers are encouraged to become the best version of themselves—both as performers and as people.

Join us for Season 24 auditions and see why so many dancers call DF-1 their second home. ✨

☀️ Keep growing all summer long! ☀️
This year, DF-1 Summer Intensive is offering TWO weeks of training for even more flexibility and opportunities to learn. Join us for inspiring classes with incredible guest teachers, explore new styles, strengthen your technique, and stay performance-ready during the break.

✨ New this year! ✨ As a special addition to our Summer Intensive, dancers will have the opportunity to participate in a professional photo shoot on July 17 & 18. It’s a fun way to celebrate all of your hard work and create some incredible dance memories!

Spots are limited—don’t miss out on one of our favorite events of the summer!
