As we head to View Nationals and the end of the season next week, we want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible 2026 graduating Senior Co Elite dancers: Natalie, Alani, Viktoria, and Gabby ✨🎓🤍

These four dancers have left their mark on our studio in so many ways. Their talent, dedication, leadership, and friendships have helped shape the DCO community we know and love. We’re so excited to see all the amazing things that await them as they head off on their new adventures and studies.

We are so grateful for every rehearsal, performance, competition, laugh, and memory we’ve shared together. Thank you for being such an important part of our Dance Co family.

Families and friends, help us celebrate these amazing graduates as they take the stage one last time with us at View Nationals. Whether you’re cheering from the audience or supporting through livestream, let’s make their final week with Dance Co one to remember ❤️

We love you, DCO Class of 2026. We’re endlessly proud of you and will miss you dearly!
