2026-2027 Dance Recruits

Quote from Nikki and KK: "Saying goodbye to this senior class is never easy — they came in and changed the culture of this program in ways that will be felt for years to come. Their work ethic, leadership, and passion laid the foundation for everything we've built at GV Dance, and we are so proud of each and every one of them. At the same time, we are incredibly excited about the future. The young women coming in as part of our newest recruiting class are talented and driven. We are  excited for what this next chapter looks like for both our competitive teams."
