Help us celebrate Emma as she begins an exciting new adventure! Shortly after Nationals, Emma will be moving to France, where she will be working as an Au Pair for a family near Paris. 🇫🇷✨

“Even though my time at EDF has been short, I have made the most true friends here. I’m going to miss every single person at this studio and I will forever treasure my memories with all of you. I especially want to thank the senior team, who has become like my family; my coaches, who always see the best in me; and all the dance parents that show me so much unconditional kindness.”

Emma, while your time at EDF may have been brief, the connections you made and the impact you had on those around you will not soon be forgotten. Your kindness and authenticity made you such a special part of our studio family. We are so grateful that our paths crossed and that we had the opportunity to share the past two seasons with you.

Your kindness is truly contagious, and we will miss you so much. No matter where in the world life takes you, you’ll always have a home at EDF. 🤍

Spent the afternoon with our dance family, celebrating the year & our beautiful dancers! 🥹💙

Help us celebrate Lani as she heads to Saginaw Valley State University this fall, where she plans to study Finance and will be a member of their dance team! 💙

“My dance journey has taken me to many different places, but I am thankful my final year brought me here. Even in a short time, EDF has given me valuable friendships, learning moments, and life skills I won’t forget. While I’ve not been here for years, I surely squeezed a full dance career’s worth of memories into one season. Thank you for welcoming me, dancing with me, and making my final year one to remember.”

Lani, while your time at EDF may have been short, the impact you made on our studio was anything but. Your energetic leadership, incredible talent, and fun-loving spirit left a lasting impression on everyone around you. We are grateful that your path led you to EDF during your final year of dance and that we had the opportunity to be a part of your journey.

Thank you for sharing your final season with us. We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in this next chapter. 🤍

Yesterday was magical ✨

As we close the curtain on Season 17, our hearts are so full. Thank you to every dancer, parent, teacher, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this season so special.

We are incredibly grateful to share these memories with your dancers and to be part of so many meaningful moments along their journey. Watching them grow in confidence, talent, and passion throughout the year is truly the greatest gift.

Thank you for trusting us with your children, for cheering them on, and for helping create a day filled with smiles, excitement, and unforgettable memories.

Season 17, you were one for the books. 💙
