What a way to wrap up an incredible season ✨
The Dragonfly Competition Team came together to celebrate a year full of hard work, growth, and unforgettable moments. From a little conditioning to keep us sharp 💪, to sharing some amazing food 🍽️, and recognizing our athletes with well-deserved awards 🏆—this night had it all.
We laughed, reflected, and captured it all with one final team photo 📸—a snapshot of a season we’ll never forget.
So proud of this team and everything we’ve accomplished together. Here’s to an amazing year and even bigger things ahead 💙

Meet Clara! She may be quiet off the stage… but in the air, she tells a whole different story.
Slow and poised. Graceful and beautiful.
Then suddenly—dynamic, strong, and full of power.
First year on the team, and already moving with confidence beyond her years. Owning every moment, every transition, every breath.
So proud of the strength, control, and artistry she brings to the stage. 💫

Sophia joined the team this year—and what a debut it’s been 💜
Stepping into her very first competition at VIVA FEST 2026 is no small feat, but she rose to the occasion with focus, courage, and so much heart. From being new to the team to standing on the podium with a 3rd place finish in Student Hoop-Lyra 🥉—we couldn’t be prouder.
She trusted the process, put in the work, and embraced every challenge along the way. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see how far she goes.
Welcome to the team, Sophia—you’ve already made your mark ✨

What stands out most isn’t just the placements—it’s the transformation. The confidence, the artistry, the way she commands the air now… it’s on a whole different level.
She took risks, pushed boundaries, and brought real emotion to her performances this year—and it shows-just look at these images!✨

Elouise took to the air with her Olaf-inspired routine and absolutely shined ❄️ From day one, she’s brought nothing but joy, determination, and the biggest smile into the gym—and it showed on stage.
So proud of this brave, fun-loving girl for stepping out of her comfort zone (cute Olaf nose) and giving it her all 💙 4th place at Viva Fest 2026 is just the beginning!
Keep reaching higher, sweet girl—we’re cheering you on every step (and swing) (and drop) of the way!!! ✨ #AerialDreams #FirstCompetition #proudmoment
Fearless, focused, and rising 💜
Gaby lit up the stage at Viva Fest 2026, proving that dedication and determination pay off. As one of the youngest athletes in the Emerging Pro Hammock division, she delivered a powerful performance and brought home 2nd place 🥈
Beyond her performance, Gaby continues to shine as a supportive teammate and is now stepping into leadership through Dragonfly’s Coach-in-Training program.
We’re incredibly proud of her growth, her grit, and example she sets every day. Her future is bright ✨
