A few weeks ago, during our #SQNashville event, our hearts were especially full thanks to three very special sisters who reminded us just how magical dance can be. Meet Harper (13), Charlie (10), and Landry (5), a trio of sisters sharing the stage and creating memories together. Harper has been dancing for six years, and this marks her third year with us at StarQuest, growing season after season with confidence and passion. This year was extra special as she was joined by her sister Charlie, who has been dancing for two years and experienced her very first StarQuest. When Charlie said, “This is a dream come true,” we felt that joy right along with her. And then there’s Landry, the youngest of the bunch, stepping into her very first year of both competing and being at StarQuest. Watching her begin her dance journey alongside her sisters was pure happiness in motion. The love for dance clearly runs in the family. We were also thrilled to meet their mom, Morgan, a former dancer of eight years and now a dance team coach, passing her passion and support down to the next generation. Moments like these remind us that StarQuest isn’t just about competition. It’s about family, dreams coming true, and the joy of growing together. We’re so grateful to have met these incredible sisters and can’t wait to watch their journeys continue as they keep sharing the magic of dance together, and that’s why they are this week’s #SQMomentOfTheWeek !...

Meet Jaylen Arnold, a youth advocate who is helping create safer and more inclusive schools by standing up to bullying. As a child, Jaylen was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Asperger’s syndrome. Because of these differences, he was often bullied by other students.
Rather than responding with anger, Jaylen chose to take action. He founded the Jaylen’s Challenge Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bullying prevention and education. Through school visits, videos, and resources, Jaylen teaches students across the United States how to recognize bullying, stand up for others, and create welcoming environments for everyone.
In recognition of his impact and leadership, Jaylen was named a World of Children Award Honoree in 2014. His work continues to empower young people to turn empathy into action and reminds us that differences should be celebrated.

Professional Growth Insight: Document Your Journey
We encourage you to keep track of your progress as you grow. Journaling, rehearsal notes, photos, or video recordings can help you capture your experiences and see how your skills evolve over time.
Reflective practice is an important part of artistic development. When you create a record of your work, you give yourself something to review, analyze, and learn from. Looking back allows you to recognize growth, identify patterns, and make thoughtful adjustments that strengthen your technique and performance.
Research in the arts shows, that reflection helps artists connect their experiences to learning, build self-awareness, and develop their artistic identity. Over time, documenting your journey becomes a powerful tool for personal evolution, confidence, and creative progress.
