Ignite Dance Team

Dance practice via zoom isn’t easy... but with a positive attitude and perseverance dance can still be fun and engaging! This week we want to congratulate our very own REESE! Reese has great attendance, always a positive attitude, and she works really hard during virtual practice. Congratulations kiddo!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

Happy Birthday to our Lacy!!! Lacy joined the team in 3rd grade and quickly advanced to our competitive team. Always a smile on her face and with a winning attitude, this kid is headed for greatness both on the dance floor and school. She’s such a bright star already and we can’t wait to see her at nationals!

Happy Birthday to our very own Lelany!!!! Lelany has been with Ignite since 4th grade and through hard work she’s now part of our advanced competitive team. Always a fierce athlete on the floor she’s a true team player and a great role model for our younger kids. We love you, Lelany!! Can’t wait to see you perform at Nationals! We are super proud of you!

It’s not been easy but we remain hopeful. Tribute to our team for continuing to shine in a virtual world.

Happy birthday to our very own Rubi, aka Rubi Bear. Rubi joined our team when she was in 3rd grade. She just started 8th grade and she has grown to be an amazing athlete in dance. We are so proud to have her on our team! Fun fact: Rubi’s mom was awarded our Ignite Champion award for all her contributions to our team. Mom is a huge Enrique Iglesias fan... so for Rubi’s tribute video we are rewinding back to the late 90’s with classic Enrique.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our 2020/2021 Ignite Competition Dance Team! These kids joined Ignite years ago and through hard work, persistence and perseverance they became full on competitive dancers. They won 1st place at regionals and were set to compete at nationals... then the world abruptly ended... And our kids now existed in a strange digital world. To say we as coaches were devastated is not nearly an approximation to how we felt. We were broken. However our kids adapted beautifully to this new normal and carried on... they taught us how to keep ignite going... because they didn’t give up on us. They kept showing up to zoom dance class .. We love these kids and their dedication so much! Huge shout out to Rose, Mireya, Lelany, Reese, Lacy, Angel, Emily, Rubi, Diana, Dayanara, Alyssa and Ayarit!

We love you, we miss you! Welcome to a new amazing school year, Ignite!

We want to wish our very own Ms. Jenna, our coach and award-winning choreographer, a very happy birthday!! This amazing young woman is an award-winning dancer who has led our team to first place victory. She’s an incredible artist and athlete with a heart of gold. Jenna, we hope that today is full of joy and magic. Thank you for all you do for Ignite. We love you and wish you the best today and always!

Happy Sweet 16 to our amazing Rose!! Rose has been with our team since the very beginning. She’s an amazing role-model, always radiating positivity and a can-do attitude! We love you, kiddo! Have an amazing day!
