Velocity Season Finale 2025 āļø
Although this was not a Nationals year for our Company kids, we still had some great representation in Las Vegas!
@emma.fontenot closed out her season as 2024 Velocity Teen Winner by assisting classes all week, attending college recruiting events, and passing down her title. She was also awarded MVA+ for next season!
@dev.jordan_ closed out his season as an MVA+ by also assisting classes all week ā itās been an experience of a lifetime for him!
Audrey B participated in the Junior MVA Program, where she took classes all week & competed her solo.
All 3 of these dancers took professional headshots and performed in the Closing Gala with ICONA POP! What an experience & what a week! š¤©
Thank you @velocitydanceconvention for another incredible event! See you next year! š«¶š»
