Nothing like having our ASH fam in the studio — and even more special getting to share the space with one of our former students, @emt.dancer now all grown up and still dancing alongside us. (Full shout out coming soon)

Huge shoutout to both Azuki and @gavinng28 for completing the very first solo of our company season in just under 2 hours. What a way to kick things off! Let’s gooooo Sz15 🔥✨

The hardest part of each season? Letting go of the choreography that captured our hearts and brought our visions to life. We wish we could hit rewind and relive those moments again and again.

But what makes it all worth it is the growth we witness in our dancers—because their evolution brings new inspiration, and somehow, the next piece becomes just as unforgettable.

Heading into Season 15 with straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations to all of our dancers — nASHies set the bar HIGH, and we can’t wait to watch that fire carry into Season 15. The growth, the grit, the joy… we felt it all. Here’s just a glimpse of the magic:

✨ Gavin — our ASH Assistant for Season 15 — crushed it with the 2nd highest solo score, earned a meeting with MSA talent agency, and received a scholarship to Eisenhower Dance Intensive. Let’s gooo!

✨ Skyelynn has been named the new ASH Company Captain as she enters her 3rd year with the company and received an LA establishment scholarship in NY or LA. Your leadership, inspiration and light continue to shine!

✨ Adog is stepping into her 2nd year as an ASH Company member — your consistency and passion never go unnoticed.

✨ Ashlyn, we are so proud of your journey through ASH Company and our company this past year. The growth, the strength, the artistry — it has shaped you into such a powerful dancer. We are so proud of all you have accomplished.

🔥 Huge welcome and congrats to our newest nASHies additions — Christina, Caroline, Millie, and Kiera! You each came in with open hearts and minds, gave it your all, and truly became a part of our nASHies dance family. We’re so proud of how you showed up every day in class and can’t wait to see where this season takes you....

There’s so much more to share, but for now, we’re soaking in every moment of the last 10 days — the hard work, the sweat, the tears, the wins, and the lifelong friendships made not just in the studio, but in those convention ballrooms too.

nASHies is special. And this year, it was even more meaningful having more of our S1D2 fam there to experience it together. 💫

This season, Gavin—a force in our advanced teacher training program—didn’t let small numbers stop the mission. With just one student in Break’, Gav made the choice to hit the stage with him. Not for the spotlight—but to empower. To remind Vin that being a boy in dance isn’t just brave—it’s powerful.

And they crushed it. Two dancers. One stage. All heart. That moment? So amazing.

Now Gav’s calling in the crew. In season 15, we’re launching a boys-only hip hop class—and it’s go time in just 18 days when enrollment opens online at 12PM.

Our 3-Day Alumni Series with Logan, Cameryn, Summer, Abby, and Kylie was everything we hoped for—and more. Having them home in our space again, pouring their hearts into each class, sharing their knowledge, their artistry, and their stories…it meant the world.

Having them back in the studio brought back so many memories—of growth, laughter, and the kind of magic that only happens when passion meets purpose. Watching Logan, Cameryn, Summer, Abby, and Kylie teach where they once trained reminded us all how deeply connected we are through this art.

Their friendship, their presence, their stories… it was more than just dance—it was a reminder that no matter how life moves on, what always brings us back together is this shared love. We’ve made an impact on one another, and that bond? It lasts forever.

Thank you for coming home. We’ll carry this week in our hearts—and and reminding us what it’s all about. 💜🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻we already can’t wait for next summer. 💜

She’s been with us since the very beginning — 15 years of helping this place run behind the scenes, holding it all together, and keeping us sane through it all. From calming the chaos to finding every solution (sometimes before we even know there’s a problem!), she’s always listening, always showing up, and always going above and beyond.

She is truly irreplaceable, and we’d be lost without her. We’re the lucky ones — and today, we celebrate her. 💕

🌞 Happy Birthday to the one and only Waverly! 🌞

✨ We’ve loved watching you grow since you first stepped through our doors at just 3-4 years old — and now, you have fully stepping into a role that inspires dancers that same age. What a full-circle moment!

Your kindness, sweetness, and spark never go unnoticed, and we’re so excited to watch your confidence continue to shine as you take on another season as a Protégé.

Here’s to an amazing year ahead — we’re so proud of you! 💜✨
Drop some love for Wavy in the comments! 🤍
