Thunderstruck Nationals 2025 ✨ Wow—what an unforgettable week! I’m beyond amazed and filled with gratitude for this entire experience.

To all the incredible dancers and instructors I was lucky enough to be surrounded by—thank you for inspiring me every single day. I had the opportunity to take phenomenal classes, perform in the opening number, run for a title, and compete both of my solos.

I’m so proud to share that my solo “People” placed 7th overall and 5th overall for title, and my solo “Lover” received Lightning Gold, the highest adjudication possible!

A special thank you to @erinbabbsofficial—it was truly an honor to dance with you! Endless thanks to @jandjperformingarts for helping me grow and thrive, and to @thunderstruckdance for hosting such an amazing event.

And to all my GoFundMe supporters—thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and helping make this dream come true. Your support carried me to that stage, and I’ll never forget it.

With so much love, Kissy

Big news! Kissy was recognized as a top Non-Stop Dancer at this year’s 24/7 Dance Competition—an incredible honor that showcases her hard work, talent, and passion for dance. She has also been awarded a prestigious invitation to NATIONALS, LAS VEGAS NV this year.

This is a fantastic opportunity for Kissy to train with the best, connect with industry leaders, and take her dance journey to new heights. But she needs a little extra help to make it happen!

We’re rallying together to support Kissy in reaching her goal ✨—because she has truly earned it! Not only is she an incredibly talented dancer, but she also demonstrates exceptional dedication to her education, maintaining a 4.+ GPA, an honor roll student at her local high school. On top of that, she shares her passion with others by teaching at her dance school, J&J Performing Arts, inspiring younger dancers to grow and excel. She’s also a leading member of her high school dance team, setting an example through her hard work, discipline, and artistry. Ranking at this years competition:

FIRST OVERALL in her division at the following dance competitions: AXIS, ACT 1, STARBOUND, RAINBOW DANCE, and rated TOP NON-STOP DANCER with 24/7 Dance Company!

Balancing academics, teaching, and performing is no small feat for this 16 year old, yet Kissy continues to shine in every aspect of her journey. Let’s help her take the next step and make this dream a reality!
