Our 2026 SENIOR
To know Eleanor is to love her. ✨
There are some dancers who leave an imprint on a studio simply by being themselves and Eleanor is one of those people. Her kindness, quiet strength, loyalty, artistry, and heart have become such a beautiful part of our S1D2 family. She carries herself with grace, works hard without needing recognition, and has a way of making the people around her feel safe, included, and supported.
Watching her grow over the years has been something truly special. Not just as a dancer, but as a human. The kind of person who reminds you that softness can still be powerful.
Eleanor, thank you for the love, dedication, laughter, memories, and light you’ve poured into these walls. Your presence will forever be part of the heartbeat of this studio.
No matter where life takes you next, a piece of S1D2 will always belong to you and a piece of you will always remain here with us. 💫🤍
Her last week of classes 😢🫶🏻- swipe to the end to see her first class of this season

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who do it all behind the scenes and behind the stage. 💐✨
Behind every confident dancer is a mama cheering the loudest, loving the hardest, and showing up through every rehearsal, convention, class, quick change, lunch/dinner drop off, and car ride home. 💜✨
To our S1D2 dance mamas thank you for being the glue, the support system, and the heart behind it all. Your love helps your dancer shine brighter every single day.
Today we celebrate YOU. 💜
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at S1D2! 🌸

This weekend was one of those reminders of why we love what we do so much. 💜
From Season 16 Protégé + TT auditions, to Company + Solo Team auditions, staff rehearsals, bowling night, shopping trip, and all the random laughs in between… these are the moments that become the memories.
The dancing matters. The training matters.
But the people, the friendships, the growth, the feeling of belonging that’s the part that stays forever.
So proud of every dancer who showed up, worked hard, stepped outside their comfort zone, and just enjoyed being together this weekend.

Alumni Shout Out
Huge congratulations to our incredible S1D2 alum, Cameryn Kelly, on officially making her swing debut in the Off-Broadway production of 11 to Midnight! ✨ @11tomidnight
Cam, a CLI Conservatory graduate, took the leap and moved to NYC to chase her dreams and now we are watching those dreams become reality right before our eyes. Watching you step onto that stage for your debut performance was such a special and emotional moment for all of us and so happy we could be there.
And the best part? She’s back on stage performing again this weekend! 👏
Your hard work, passion, dedication, and fearless pursuit of your goals continue to inspire so many dancers coming up behind you including the ones right here in the studio. We could not be more proud of the artist and human you are.
S1D2 loves you endlessly, and we cannot wait to continue cheering you on through every chapter of this journey. Anything is possible ....

Our 2026 SENIOR
To know Eleanor is to love her. ✨
There are some dancers who leave an imprint on a studio simply by being themselves and Eleanor is one of those people. Her kindness, quiet strength, loyalty, artistry, and heart have become such a beautiful part of our S1D2 family. She carries herself with grace, works hard without needing recognition, and has a way of making the people around her feel safe, included, and supported.
Watching her grow over the years has been something truly special. Not just as a dancer, but as a human. The kind of person who reminds you that softness can still be powerful.
Eleanor, thank you for the love, dedication, laughter, memories, and light you’ve poured into these walls. Your presence will forever be part of the heartbeat of this studio.
No matter where life takes you next, a piece of S1D2 will always belong to you and a piece of you will always remain here with us. 💫🤍
