Joyce Poole Winter

Full circle moment for me today. 🥹 🏰🏰🏰 If you know me, then you know how much I cherish the time I had dancing as a “Kid of the Kingdom” on the castle stage. I’m so happy that my @ucf.danceteam girls got to experience today just how wonderful it is to dance at Disney. The team was invited to be a part of Disneys Very Merry Christmas Parade featuring @juleshough and some insanely talented LA based industry dancers! The day was magical in every way, and I can’t wait for everyone to watch them shine on Christmas morning! 🎄 And as if all of this wasn’t special enough, I was able to work with @tessandrachavez and set the choreography for our section. Getting to meet and watch Julianne dance my movement with the girls was surreal. I’m so thankful to still be doing what I love so much. This journey just keeps getting better and better. #blessed #disney #kok #ucf

We had such a fantastic recruitment camp this past Sunday! The talent on our campus was ridiculous, and it makes me so excited about the future of the @ucf.danceteam !!! 💛🖤💛 I love being able to share my passion with all who came to learn more about our program, and of course our amazing Team. 👊 Make sure to get signed up for our last clinic in February before it fills up. 🙌 Head over to @ucf.danceteam and the link is in our Bio. 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 ________________________________ Music: @beyonce Dancers @lyssalyssa5678 @mikalatourelle @analiselewis Choreo: Me 🙋‍♀️ Combo from our second recruitment clinic. ***I do not own the rights to this music 🎶 #collegedance #ucf #GKCO #orlandodancers #beyoncepurehoney #dancevideos #danceteam #joycewinterchoreography

We are beyond proud of our Head Coach, Joyce Winter, for being named College Coach of the Year at NDCA! Over the past five years, she has transformed this program through her passion, leadership, and dedication, and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes in her 6th year with UCF. Thank you all for your continued love and support!

Coaching these beautiful humans is such a privilege. I'm incredibly proud of what we put on the floor at UDA Nationals. I continue to be in awe of the material our choreographers give us each year. @davinlawson and @pariscav You both pour your souls into your work and we are so grateful! You are simply brilliant and we're so fortunate to have had the honor of working alongside you both! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! I maintain that you need to focus on the controllables. This industry is so subjective, and my goal as a coach is to have my dancers walk away loving what we put out. Mission accomplished!!! I love Dance! Period. I sincerely appreciate and am inspired by every team that competed and every coach that gave their time, energy, and passion to their programs. You made a difference and Dance is better for it. To TEAM SIX... be ready Coach Joyce is excited and can't wait to get started again! 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤 My heart is so full and I am so fortunate!

This was truly one of the greatest work experiences to date. I'm so thankful for this life and for these opportunities for and with my girls! Disney holds such a special place in my heart. How lucky am I to get to share this place so many years later with my team!?! Such a blessing! 🙏 Thank you @thepchu @nopenother @robertroldan_ @tracyshibata for the best experience and for making all of us feel so special. You are the best in the business. You create such a positive atmosphere for everyone involved in your projects. It was such a privilege to work with you! ✨

So grateful for these beautiful ladies and this life I get to live. @ucf.danceteam ➡️ Team Five… You are just So Special! 💛🖤⚔️⚔️

We had the best time teaching at #thesummit dance team experience. Thank you @htxconnect713 and @tmitchell227 for making this event so special. We loved the energy, positive atmosphere and personal connections we were able to make, and always enjoy time spent with @amandagaines_ and her amazing @matthew.greco03 Shout out to my incredible assistant @alex_woznyk 💫 Thank you for inspiring! 💛🖤

Warning ⚠️ Big Post! I needed to pause before attempting to put our UDA College Nationals experience into words. Months of training, blocking, cleaning, re-blocking, and re-blocking again, culminating into what was essentially 8 minutes on a competition floor is what we live for. 💛 We had hoped for 10 minutes, but fate had a different plan. The pride I have for the UCF Dance Team and the resilience they displayed this year is unmatched. Team Four - you are everything and so much more!!! The love you have for each other and the determination you have shown in the face of adversity, speaks volumes about your character. You inspire me and make me want to do better for you, and I will continue to try! 🙏 You fill my heart and bring so much joy to my life! I love you all so much and am so freaking proud of you! @pariscav you are legitimately the most brilliant and unique choreographer I have ever had the privilege of working with! ✨ Everything about your piece was truly so special… all 7,492 😂steps of the most difficult, and innovative movement. I’m so sorry we weren’t able to do better for you, but we couldn’t have loved what we put out any more. We felt so fortunate to be able to dance your work on the nationals floor! Thank you for believing in us. We love you so much Paris!!! 💛 To @davinlawson - I can’t believe that we actually did it! 🥉Your mind is wild, crazy, unpredictable, fun, smooth, sassy, and just plain genius. You have truly helped us develop this program and it wouldn’t be what it is today without you. Thank you for trusting and believing in us and for pouring your heart and soul into this piece! We adore you, Davin!!! Big Love! 💛 @abbey_davison thank you for all the love and support you give these girls and me. You’re the witty, relevant, and relatable coach they look up to and I’m so thankful for you! To our amazing cheer team, coaches and trainers - We heard and felt every shout of encouragement! Thanks for supporting us. ⚔️ To my family- I love you the most! Thanks for tolerating all the crazy moments! 🤪 I continue to be inspired by my fellow coaches and I know I’m not alone in saying… planning has already begun - bring on 2026 🤩
