Let’s finish STRONG!

I GOT THR MKDA TEA...😮☕️🤭

Here's a little behind-the-scenes fun... Miss Melissa, Miss Julie, and I have a group chat. I know... absolutely groundbreaking information. 🤫🤫

You'd think we'd be talking about camp or our plans for the weekend...NOPE. We talk about dance. Constantly.
Shocking, I know.

So what really shocked us last week was when Miss Julie sent a message that made all of us stop scrolling...
"We're creeping up to 300 dancers.

Excuse me... WHAT?! After only TWO WEEKS of registration being open for the 2026–2027 MKDA dance season, we're already creeping up to 300 dancers! First of all... THANK YOU! We honestly can't wait to welcome back our returning dancers and meet all the new families joining the MKDA family this season. Now here's the part I probably shouldn't say... Registration is open until

September 11th .. BUT...I've seen certain words floating around that group chat...💬 📱"Classes are filling” "Wait list”"Only a few spots left in those classes." I'm not trying to start any rumours... I'm just repeating what I accidentally happened to read.

So... do with that information what you will. 🤣💀🤣...and if I were you, I'd probably register before Miss Julie sends another one of those messages.
