At TDP our goal has never been to create the biggest competition team — our focus has always been building dancers with strong technical training, confidence, discipline, and artistry. Because of this, we intentionally keep our team selective each season to ensure every dancer receives focused instruction and individualized growth. We are currently accepting new dancers for our Competition Team with limited spots available. A few openings have already been filled 💚 Our training focuses on: • Strong technique • Performance quality • Versatility & discipline • Building confident, technically trained dancers If your dancer is ready for focused, high-level training in a supportive and dedicated environment, we’d love to connect. Our teams start as young as age 5 through 18. Email [email protected]

💚Technique Matters💚 Your dancer deserves more than just learning routines. They deserve strong technical training, positive mentorship, and an environment that builds confidence, discipline, and artistry. Don’t spend years at a studio that isn’t helping your dancer become the strongest they can be in a healthy, supportive, nurturing environment. Competitive dance should challenge dancers while encouraging them to grow, thrive, and love what they do. Our team is committed to developing well-rounded dancers — technically strong, mentally confident, and supported every step of the way. Registration Opens June 3rd. Contact us today for more information. New student spots are limited for Season 9 👏

We welcome to the TDP Faculty Miss Ali Maringola 💚👏 We are so excited to have you on board 🎉

Regional #2 we are ready for you!!! Best of luck to our dancers this weekend, we love you & are so proud of you 💚 #tdpseason8

We’ve opened up some Saturday classes in June 💚 Open to all dancers 🎉

There was not a dry eye in the house 💚 It has always been so much more than dance. We are a family. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 ❤️ “For Good “ I’ve heard it said That people come into our lives For a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true But I know I’m who I am today Because I knew you Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good

A heartfelt sincere, thank you to every single volunteer that stepped up, helped out and gave of themselves to ensure our 3 shows were perfect 💚 Eternally grateful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations to our Kindness Scholarship recipients Sophie & Michael. In memory of Miss Amy’s Dad, Raymond Zappone Presented to two very special dancers who consistently lead with kindness. They are thoughtful, caring, and bring a gentle, positive energy into our studio each and every day. This scholarship is given to those who remind us that how you treat others matters just as much as what you achieve.

It’s been such a wonderful Season and it’s not over yet 💚⭐️👏 Thank you @gianna.zaldivar.24 @thedanceprojectvlogss

Congratulations to our Season 8 “ Dancers of the Year “ Bria Gruner Ariana Perez Callie Sowder Bailey Spang Destiny Gwizd Aurora Kifer

Two shows down, 1 to go 💚⭐️👏

Sleep tight All Stars ❤️Tomorrow is your day ⭐️
