From Studio to Stage: Our Students Mid-Year Lookback
At Perform Ability, learning the routine is just the beginning.
Our students aren’t just training for the next class—they’re getting ready for something BIGGER. Something they absolutely love - Performing
It’s the moment they look forward to. The reason they show up, give it their all, and work so hard in every routine. Because when they step on stage—whether it’s a local community event or a massive showcase—they get to do what they love, share their talent, and feel that well-earned pride.
And the best part? They feel seen, celebrated, and included every step of the way.
We’re right there with them, creating those opportunities and cheering them on. From studio rehearsals to live performances, we’re all about building confidence, connection, and moments that stick.
Here’s a little mid-year look back at the amazing performances our students have already been part of—scroll through, smile, and celebrate with us. 💙

It’s been such a joy watching our students light up on stage, grow in confidence, and fall even more in love with performing. For some, it was their very first time in front of a crowd—and they absolutely rose to the occasion.
Every performance has been a celebration of inclusion, growth, and the power of giving everyone a chance to shine. And we’re incredibly thankful to all the events and communities who welcomed us with open arms, creating spaces where our students felt seen, supported, and truly valued.
This is inclusion in action—and it’s changing lives.
We’re beyond proud of how far our students have come. With half the year already filled with unforgettable moments, we know the best is still ahead and we can’t wait to see where the next performance takes us. 💙
