Ivy Rose

The end of a really amazing week.

It’s Elevate Theatre showcase week! Never thought we’d be living the musical theatre life but here we are. 😅 If she’s not dancing around the house, she’s singing, but mostly she’s doing both. 🤣 It’s been such a fun & amazing learning experience. She’s excited & cannot wait to show us what all she’s learned.

In the midst of our May craziness, it’s always so nice to scroll through for the end of year showcase. Ivy & clicked from day 1 & I couldn’t have hand picked someone who loves art & kids as much as she does to love on our girl. What a beautiful day to celebrate art, our kids & another successful year of The Creativity Lab!

There are some people who come into your life at just the right time. Two years ago at recital, Ivy was dying to dance competitively, and saw HER and did the dang thing. 🤍

Not only that, she’s created an environment with amazing teachers who make her want to be there EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (Everyone not pictured because we were all over the place and also trying to leave. 🤪)

Thank you, Chali, for seeing not just our girl, but all of them. You see the commitment, the drive, the good days and the hard days, the moments things finally click, and the days whole bodies just stop working because they were asked to turn their head. 🙃🫣

Thank you for bringing us . I truly can’t imagine our lives without her. Thank you for the seriously talented and undeniably cool staff. Every single one of them has made such an impact.

And the way you’ve brought these girls together, littles and bigs, is something special. The way they show up for each other is amazing to watch.

And lastly, the growth. Not just in our girl, but in all of them. We’ve watched seasoned dancers BLOOM under your guidance. We’ve also watched new dancers gain confidence and blow us all away.

It’s really something special to be part of something like this. 🤍

This afternoon, we left the LEAP showcase feeling inspired, grateful, and with hearts so full. 💙✨
Watching these incredible individuals take the stage with such joy, confidence, and passion was truly remarkable. The talent in that room was amazing, but the love, determination, and happiness shining through each performance made the biggest impact of all.

A beautiful reminder that showing up matters. Encouraging others matters. Creating spaces where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and confident enough to shine matters. Every single person has something special to offer this world, and this program is proof of that. ✨
