Happy Mother’s Day to the women who do it all behind the scenes and behind the stage. 💐✨
Behind every confident dancer is a mama cheering the loudest, loving the hardest, and showing up through every rehearsal, convention, class, quick change, lunch/dinner drop off, and car ride home. 💜✨
To our S1D2 dance mamas thank you for being the glue, the support system, and the heart behind it all. Your love helps your dancer shine brighter every single day.
Today we celebrate YOU. 💜
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at S1D2! 🌸

This weekend was one of those reminders of why we love what we do so much. 💜
From Season 16 Protégé + TT auditions, to Company + Solo Team auditions, staff rehearsals, bowling night, shopping trip, and all the random laughs in between… these are the moments that become the memories.
The dancing matters. The training matters.
But the people, the friendships, the growth, the feeling of belonging that’s the part that stays forever.
So proud of every dancer who showed up, worked hard, stepped outside their comfort zone, and just enjoyed being together this weekend.

Alumni Shout Out
Huge congratulations to our incredible S1D2 alum, Cameryn Kelly, on officially making her swing debut in the Off-Broadway production of 11 to Midnight! ✨ @11tomidnight
Cam, a CLI Conservatory graduate, took the leap and moved to NYC to chase her dreams and now we are watching those dreams become reality right before our eyes. Watching you step onto that stage for your debut performance was such a special and emotional moment for all of us and so happy we could be there.
And the best part? She’s back on stage performing again this weekend! 👏
Your hard work, passion, dedication, and fearless pursuit of your goals continue to inspire so many dancers coming up behind you including the ones right here in the studio. We could not be more proud of the artist and human you are.

Help the Zippilli Family Rebuild After Devastating House Fire
https://gofund.me/cfd39f914
At the end of March, our beloved S1D2 family — Samantha and Anthony Zippilli, along with their beautiful children Lexi, Logan, Tony, and Iris — experienced the unimaginable. A devastating house fire displaced their entire family. In a matter of moments, their home — the place where were memories made — was gone.
Since that night, this family of six has been living in a two bedroom hotel room… alongside their two dogs and beloved bunnies. While they wait for insurance to process and begin the long road toward rebuilding, they are navigating daily life in a space never meant to hold a family this size.
And if you know the Zippilli family, you know this: they are the kindest, most generous, most selfless people. The kind who show up. The kind who give back to our community. The kind who would give without hesitation. Also owners of everyone’s favorite coffee shop “A little lovely coffeehouse“ at the outlets.
Now it’s our turn to show up for them. Our goal is to help relieve the financial and emotional strain they are carrying and help provide comfort, stability, and breathing room during this incredibly difficult season. Whether that means assisting with temporary housing, replacing essentials, caring for their pets, or simply giving them one less thing to worry about — every single donation makes a difference.
No family should have to feel crammed and unsettled while rebuilding their lives. As an S1D2 community, we believe in lifting one another up. We train hard, we grow together — and we show up when it matters most.
If you are able, please consider donating. If you cannot give financially, sharing this fundraiser means just as much. Let’s help bring this sweet family back into a space that feels safe, warm, and like home again.
With love, Your S1D2 Family

Huge congratulations to our incredible S1D2 alum, Cameryn Kelly, on officially making her swing debut in the Off-Broadway production of 11 to Midnight! ✨ @11tomidnight
Cam, a CLI Conservatory graduate, took the leap and moved to NYC to chase her dreams and now we are watching those dreams become reality right before our eyes. Watching you step onto that stage for your debut performance was such a special and emotional moment for all of us and so happy we could be there.
And the best part? She’s back on stage performing again this weekend! 👏
Your hard work, passion, dedication, and fearless pursuit of your goals continue to inspire so many dancers coming up behind you including the ones right here in the studio. We could not be more proud of the artist and human you are.
S1D2 loves you endlessly, and we cannot wait to continue cheering you on through every chapter of this journey. Anything is possible ....
