Nationals 2025: A Week We’ll Never Forget

From the moment our feet hit the sand to the final group prayer filled with hugs and happy tears, this year's Nationals trip was nothing short of unforgettable. It was a week packed with dancing, bonding, and memories that will live on in the hearts of our dancers, families, and staff forever.

Between rehearsals and performances, we leaned into every moment of growth and togetherness. Our dancers poured their hearts into every routine, and their hard work and passion didn’t go unnoticed. Our advanced contemporary and lyrical group routines earned the highest score of the entire competition! To say we're proud is an understatement.

This Nationals trip also marked a bittersweet milestone as we celebrated and said goodbye to our three incredible graduating Company seniors: Aliza, Jasmine, and Phoenix. Their talent, leadership, and love for CDA have shaped our studio in ways words can’t fully express. They’ve mentored younger dancers, led with grace, and brought unmatched energy to every stage they stepped on. Simply put... they’re the definition of leaving a CDA legacy.

To our dancers, thank you for showing up with your whole hearts. To our families, thank you for your support and cheers from the crowd. And to our seniors, thank you for everything. Your mark on CDA will never fade.

Season 11 Nationals... one we will never forget! 💙💚
