I mean yes, technically my ID says I’m an adult… but I promise you I am also still looking around for an actual adult in this situation. How did I become the one everyone makes eye contact with when things get real? Absolutely not. I’m just here with snacks and panic. 😂

Backstage chaos? Never heard of her. Just another day in the life of a dance mom sprinting in with emergency fishnets like the unsung hero of competition weekend. The quick changes, the missing tights, the frantic whispers… honestly this is my cardio at this point.

We all start off thinking it’s just a cute little class… then suddenly we’re knee-deep in costumes, comp schedules, late-night rhinestoning, and living on caffeine and love. If you know, you know.

If you know… you know.
Why are competition venues either a tropical rainforest or the Arctic tundra with absolutely no in-between. One minute we’re sweating through quick changes and the next we’re freezing solid like Dr. Evil wondering why we didn’t pack our entire winter wardrobe.
Sending warm thoughts to every dance parent who keeps a coat, a hoodie, three blankets and a spare pair of socks in the comp bag just to survive the chaos.

Not every competition performance is going to feel 100 percent, and honestly… that is okay. We are human, they are human, and sometimes the big feels come out before the words do. They’ll insist they’re “not upset” while their voice takes on that little extra wobble that says otherwise. But that passion is part of what makes them who they are. Growth happens in the moments between the stages too, and I’ll always be proud of the heart they put into every solo.

Dance has quite literally saved my daughter’s life.

Okay… that sounds dramatic and not entirely what I mean.

Let me explain while I share a very real update about my dancer’s heart health.

If you may recall, Rachel (my dancer) participated in a free heart screening with the Nick of Time Foundation. Out of more than seven hundred students screened, she was one of six who showed an abnormality. Her primary care doctor reviewed the results and gently said, “Seattle Children’s will verify… but there might be two holes based on how I’m reading this.” And sure enough, today, eight weeks after that initial discovery, we were told there are indeed two holes.

One is very common and something many adults never even know they have. The other is much rarer. But here is the part that stopped me in my tracks. Her doctor said that because she has been so active in dance all these years, her heart is strong, her blood pressure is low, and the potential severity of that rare little hole has been significantly reduced. Her sport truly helped her body protect itself.

We are making some gentle lifestyle shifts moving forward, but we are incredibly grateful for the results.

Are we thrilled she has holes? No.
Are we relieved this is more observation and prevention than surgeries and setbacks? Absolutely yes.

So, for now, just call her Angel because my dancer is Holy 👼😆. Okay, don't, she'll hate that 😂.

We are ending 2025 with gratitude and heading into 2026 with a heart healthy mindset and a whole lot of perspective. 💓

That end-of-day studio shuffle is real. After hours of combos, corrections, and chaos, the only thing on their mind is food and silence. If you know… you know.

There is something about a competition merch table that unlocks a whole new level of “I need it.” Five minutes in and they’ve built a wish list longer than the awards schedule. Truly a spiritual experience for them and a budgeting crisis for me.

Competition days always bring out the best memories… and the spiciest moments. By hour eight we’re running on caffeine, snacks, and sheer willpower, and I’m just choosing patience over prison one eye-roll at a time. If you know, you know. 💀💗

Nothing better than spotting the moms who pack the full emergency kit, alphabetize costumes, run on caffeine and chaos, and somehow still cheer louder than anyone else in the room. Those are my people. The ones who get the crazy, the joy, and the wild love we all carry for our dancers. 💗

There is something about that first competition of the year that hits different. The nerves, the schedule, the quick changes, the chaos… and somehow the joy wrapped inside all of it. Every year I promise to take it slow and every year I end up right back here, fully caffeinated and ready to cheer louder than anyone. Here’s to the beginning of another wild, beautiful season.
