This routine deserves a permanent place on my feed! 🖤 Every late night, every rehearsal, every moment of doubt all led to this! A team built on LOVE, TRUST, and unshakable DEDICATION. THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! Pure JOY! My heart is so full watching them shine TOGETHER. So excited for what’s to come, it’s shaping up to be the best year EVER. XOXO 💫 #teamEncore

Another Nationals has come and gone, but this one was DIFFERENT. There was an electricity in the air, a feeling of love and camaraderie, support and excitement. In 20 years of teaching I have never witnessed anything like it. Dancers know what it means to persevere. We fall and rise, again and again, shaping our art with resilience and determination. But what makes us truly unstoppable is not just our own strength, it is the way we stand TOGETHER. There is no room for ego when the goal is unity. We lift one another, celebrate each other’s victories, and support each other through every challenge. Our differences become our power, and our shared dreams and goals move us forward. Negativity cannot survive where respect and collaboration live. When we dance as ONE, we transform. We become more than a group of individuals. We become a force, moving with one heartbeat, guided by a vision that is bigger than any one of us. TOGETHER, we rise. TOGETHER, we shine. Leaving PA with a heart full of love and memories to last a lifetime. Here’s to what’s next- LOVE YOU ALL 🥰

We did it- 60 miles in 3 days! It was not easy-actually it was very hard- but not even close to as hard as saying goodbye. THANK YOU to everyone who donated and helped us to honor our beautiful Mom. Together with over 900 walkers, the Boston event raised over 2.3 MILLION DOLLARS towards research and assistance for those affected by breast cancer. We are thankful to be just a small part in fighting this disease. We will continue in hopes that someday no child will have to live in a world without their Mother. XOXO Lisa and Melissa

My mom was one of a kind. She taught me how to be strong, confident and independent because that’s who she was. She was my biggest critic and my biggest fan all in one. She gave me the life that most kids would dream of, all by herself. The absolute epitome of a dance mom-she has hairspray and rhinestones in her veins. She pushed us to chase our dreams and gave us everything we needed to achieve them. She loved dance- everything about it! Sometimes, she really thought she was the 4th judge. She never missed my students performances. She knew every students name and if she didn’t she knew your costume. Your wins were her wins and when the outcome wasn’t the way you would have hoped she always said “They will learn from the mistakes and get ‘em next time” and you always did. Encore brought her so much joy, and just know that she will still be cheering us all on! I am empty without her. I’ve learned that there is never enough time. Don’t wait until tomorrow, I would give anything to have one more day, one more hour, one more minute. Tell people you love them every chance you can, hug them a little longer, let go of the stupid things because you cannot get time back. Momma, I know that you are in a better place with no pain, all the animals and live music to dance to. You fought this with every ounce of strength you had and now you can rest. I cannot begin to imagine what my life without you is going to be like, but I am determined to live each day making you proud. I only hope that I can be a fraction of the woman you are. Please don’t worry I will take care of it down here, you showed me how… I cannot wait until the day that I am with you again, until then- I’ll see you in my dreams. I love you Momma!

finally thinking back on @starpowertalent 2023 nationals, and I am still absolutely blown away by what our kids accomplished. I always tell the dancers “you earn your trophies in rehearsal and pick them up at competition”, and they ABSOLUTELY earned them- coming home National champions 11 times, 2 Victory Cup winners, 4 National title winners and countless other awards. I could not be more proud of you. To top it all off, I was so shocked and honored to receive the prestigious “Choreographer of the Year” award. Thank you to all the dancers who make my art come to life- I owe it all to you ❤️ 2024 has some big shoes to fill… LETS GO!
