For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with trying to achieve perfection in everything I do. A few years ago, I choreographed a dance for one of my dancers to a song that introduced me to the phrase "Perfectly Imperfect." Those two little words have stuck with me ever since and have become something I try to embrace in my own life.

But I have to say... mine and Seth's wedding day was absolutely PERFECT.

Not because every little detail had to be flawless, but because the day was filled with everything that truly matters. Love, laughter, family, friends, and memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

My heart is so incredibly full.

Thank you to everyone who sent us well wishes, reached out with kind words, helped make our day so special, and especially to those who came to celebrate alongside us. We felt so much love, and it meant more than words could ever express.

We are truly blessed in every way, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Here's to embracing life's perfectly imperfect moments... and celebrating the ones that turn out to be more perfect than you ever could have imagined.

Officially Mrs. Thomas!

We had a VERY exciting night last night! Five of our dancers were fitted for their very first pair of pointe shoes! This is such a special milestone in a dancer’s training, and these girls have worked incredibly hard to get to this point. We are SO proud of them and excited for this next chapter in their ballet journey!

Once a Spotlight dancer, always a part of the Spotlight family.

We are SO incredibly proud to congratulate Meghan Donnelly, 2025 Anthony Wayne graduate and Spotlight alum, on officially becoming a BGSU Falconette!

Megs, watching you continue to pursue your love of dance beyond the Spotlight stage makes us so proud. All of the years of training, dedication, hard work, growth, and passion have led you to this exciting new chapter—and we cannot wait to watch you shine at BGSU!

There is something so special about seeing our dancers graduate from Spotlight and continue doing what they love. You will always have a studio full of teachers, teammates, and dancers back home cheering you on every step of the way.

Congratulations, Megs! We are SO incredibly proud of you!

Now go light up that field, Falconette!

Happy Birthday, Miss Raye! We hope your day is as wonderful as you are, and we are SO happy to have you home! There’s something extra special about watching one of your own dancers grow up, chase her dreams, and then come back home to inspire the next generation. We are so lucky to have Miss Raye sharing her talent, passion, creativity, and love of dance with our students. There is nothing quite like having someone who grew up within our Spotlight family return to pour everything she has learned into the dancers coming up behind her. Once a Spotlight dancer, always a Spotlight dancer.

✨ Choreography magic with Kristin M. Thompson & Bradi Whitacre ! ✨

A HUGE thank you to these two incredible artists from K. Monique's Studio Of Dance for everything they brought to SDC this season!

We absolutely love having Kristin & Bradi in the studio!! Not only because they bring the BEST energy, but because of the intention and attention to detail they bring to every piece. They don’t just teach choreography; they take the time to help our dancers understand how to execute the movement, connect to it, and bring it to life.

Our dancers worked hard, learned so much, and walked away stronger artists because of their time together.

Now the real work begins… and we cannot WAIT to see these pieces come alive on stage this season!

Thank you, Kristin & Bradi! We already can’t wait to have you back 💎💫🤍

🎓✨ SENIOR YEAR HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!✨🎓

And just like that, our beautiful graduating seniors have started their final year of high school!

We could not be more proud of the incredible young women they have become. They are talented dancers, wonderful teammates, leaders, role models, and such an important part of our SDC family. It feels so bittersweet knowing we’ve reached their senior year, but we are SO excited for everything that lies ahead.

This year is about so much more than their final season on the competition stage. We get to watch them make memories, celebrate milestones, chase their goals, and begin figuring out where life will take them next both inside and outside of the studio.

Girls, soak it ALL in. The firsts, the lasts, the big moments and all the little ones in between. You’ve worked so hard to get here, and you deserve to enjoy every second of this chapter.

Senior year, here we go! We can’t wait to cheer you on every step of the way. Presenting our SDC Seniors of 2027!
