Love having one of our OGs back home on a random February week 🤍✨
There’s just something special about having her in the room — teaching, inspiring, pouring into our dancers, and simply being here. Such a breath of fresh air for all of us. So grateful for the roots that they keep coming back home. 💜

First convention of the weekend. First step into the season. And already… so much to be proud of.
ASH New Brunswick reminded us that greatness isn’t just about what happens under the lights it’s built in the quiet moments, the long rehearsals, the encouragement backstage, the deep breaths before the music starts, and the way a team chooses to stand together no matter what.
Strong artists aren’t only defined by technique or trophies.
They’re defined by heart.
By resilience.
By kindness.
By showing up for each other on stage and off.
This team continues to prove that when passion meets purpose, beautiful things happen. And this is only the beginning.
So proud of every dancer who stepped into this weekend with courage and commitment.
All eyes forward.
All hearts in. ✨
Thank you @artistssimplyhuman for an amazing weekend! Thank you to every single one of our choreographers and S1D2 staff members who create, inspire and continue to encourage beyond the boundaries (saving that post for later)

Happiness 💜💜💜 #trainandgrow #dancers #step1dance2 #dancefam #season15
Today we celebrate Gavin. @gavinng28 💙
Some people leave a mark not just with their talent, but with their heart and that is you. Your kindness, humility, and quiet leadership shine just as brightly as your ability to dance. You uplift others without ever needing the spotlight, and that is what makes you so special.
Watching you grow into the dancer, teacher, and role model you are today has been an absolute gift. The way you lead with compassion, encourage those around you, and give so generously of yourself sets an example that will live far beyond this studio.
Even though you’re technically a senior, having one more full season with you feels like something truly special and we are holding onto every moment with so much gratitude. 💙
“The greatest impact isn’t how far you go, but how many hearts you lift along the way.”
Happy 16th Birthday, Gavin. Thank you for being you and for sharing your light with all of us. ✨
Show Gavin some love in the comments 🤍

💜 Today’s birthday shoutout goes to the incredible Ms. Toni! 💜
From starting as a dance mom to Tia and Kylie 14 years ago to becoming an absolutely irreplaceable part of our studio family, Toni has left a lasting mark on S1D2 in the most meaningful ways. ✨ From designing our website to creating our unforgettable showcase backdrop productions, numerous ideas in how to advertise, and her creativity, dedication, and generosity have shaped so much of what our families experience.
Her kindness is truly unmatched, her friendship is deeply cherished, and she is one of the biggest supporters and encouragers anyone could ever ask for. We also love having her in the studio — joining us in tap and hip-hop classes and even performing alongside us in showcases.💜
Toni, you are one of a kind, and we are so incredibly lucky to have you as part of our lives and our S1D2 family. Here’s to another year of greatness — Happy Birthday, Ms. Toni! 💜✨

This studio is built around the kids who live here Monday–Thursday, straight from school to late nights. Their perspective matters. Their stories matter.

Happy 16th Birthday to our amazing Protégé, Company member, and Office Admin Addison! 💜✨
We have absolutely loved watching your growth since you were just 3 years old from your cute, inquisitive self who was always eager to learn and ask questions, to the confident, compassionate leader you are today. You have always been a people-pleaser in the most beautiful way, taking pride in making others feel seen, special, and valued.
You inspire simply through your kindness, your willingness to see the good in everyone, and the way you lead by example. The confidence you’ve stepped into this season has been incredible to witness, and it shines through your work ethic, dedication, and heart for this community. 💜
You have brought so much to this season, and because of how you lead and inspire, our community is stronger and more connected. We absolutely adore you and cherish every moment with you in the studio truly savoring it all over these next two years.
We can’t wait to see all the ways you continue to shine and especially light up the stage this weekend. Have the happiest birthday, Addison! ✨

Love having one of our OGs back home on a random February week 🤍✨
There’s just something special about having her in the room — teaching, inspiring, pouring into our dancers, and simply being here. Such a breath of fresh air for all of us. So grateful for the roots that they keep coming back home. 💜
