US Nationals this year was as close as it gets — literally one mark away from the semifinal!

After 15 years of dancing together, we’ve learned to appreciate both the great results and the ones that simply mean there’s more work to do. We still love competing, still have goals, and still believe in playing the long game.

Results matter, but they don’t define the journey. We keep working, growing, and coming back stronger.

Thank you to our sponsor AIDA Dance USA for the continued support, Envy for Veronika’s beautiful look, and VESA for another masterpiece of a costume!
