Mirror Image Dance Academy of Valparaiso

Congratulations to our Miss Madalyn on her graduation from Valpo High School! We’re so excited for your future 👏👏

MIDA’s very own Garret Stavitzke gave a heartfelt speech as valedictorian of Morgan HS Class of 2026! We are incredibly proud of him and grateful for the whole Stavitzke family ❤️

What a day to remember 💙✨ Two beautiful shows and a celebration of 25 incredible years of our studio! Today was filled with performances, milestones, laughter, and so many shared memories that make this dance family so special. Thank you to every dancer, family, teacher, alumni, and supporter who has been part of this journey and helped create moments we’ll treasure forever!

We’d love to keep the memories going—share a picture of your dancer from today in the comments below! 📸

Here’s to 25 years of memories… and so many more to come ✨

✨ Senior Spotlight: Garret ✨

Garret has been part of our studio family for many years, and throughout that time he has become such an important part of the heart of our studio. From helping at the front desk to assisting with countless recitals, his dedication, kindness, and willingness to jump in wherever needed have made such a lasting impact. 💙

“Probably one of my favorite memories from MIDA is being at the studio all the time growing up! Being there and always being given small little jobs when I was little to keep me from annoying my mom were always the best, lol!”

“Deanna has always provided me with so many opportunities and amazing memories that there are too many to pick from. Simply, my time there has been some of the greatest moments of my life.”

Garret, thank you for the countless hours, helping hands, and positive energy you have brought to the studio through the years. We are so proud of you and excited to see where life takes you next! ✨

✨ Senior Spotlight: Miss Madalyn ✨

Miss Madalyn has been part of our studio family for so many years, and watching her grow into the incredible dancer, leader, and role model she is today has been so special. 💙

“One of my favorite memories has been going to Dance Rev every year with the team. Every Sunday morning service always seems to bring us together emotionally, and those moments have created such a strong connection within the older teams.”

Madalyn also remembers her very first dance classes with Miss Ally, which sparked her love for dance and began a journey that has impacted so many around her. From tiny dancer to teacher, she has truly grown up in the studio!

After graduation, Madalyn plans to attend Purdue University Northwest to study forensic science, and she hopes to continue dancing as part of their dance team! We are also so excited that she will be continuing to teach at the studio this upcoming year. 💫

We are so proud of you, Miss Madalyn, and can’t wait to see all the amazing things your future holds!

What an incredible weekend for our Performing Company & Competition Team! After so much hard work, dedication, and heart, they took on both competition and convention at Revive Dance Convention—and truly made the most of every moment.

We are beyond proud of not only how they performed, but how they supported one another and represented our studio. Winning the Sportsmanship Award for the weekend is such a meaningful honor and reflects the kindness, teamwork, and character these dancers bring everywhere they go! 💙

So proud of this team—way to shine on and off the stage! ✨

We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break! We will see you back at the studio on Monday, March 30th! 💙

Our first competition of the season is in the books! ✨ We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and heart our dancers brought to the stage this weekend at Bloom Dance Competition! A huge thank you to our amazing teachers who pour so much time, talent, and passion into these dancers every single day!

What makes us the proudest, though, is the way these girls support and lift each other up. The teamwork, encouragement, and friendships behind the scenes is what makes MIDA so special! 💙
