    Pink Ice Parent (P.I.P)

    I am a dance mom of 11years, and it has been a complete joy to watch my daughter Journey grow into the dancer that she is. After the pandemic we were in search of a new dance home. Prayerfully, we were led to Pink Ice Dance Company. We are excited for new opportunities with Pink Ice and look forward to making many memories with our new dance family. So far, the experience has been phenomenal!

      Pink Ice Parent (P.I.P)

      What it’s like to be a dance parent? I know most may be like it’s amazing which it is meeting all the new parents, watching our children build bonds, parents build friendships and become family. It can also get frustrating and it can become overwhelming at times. But when competition day comes it’s exciting and whenever my child hit that floor it gives me a reminder of why I go so hard because it nothing like seeing my daughter do what she loves. This is my fourth year in this and as long as my baby happy and wants to keep dancing I’m gonna ride till the wheels fall off 🤞🏽🩷.

        Pink Ice Dancer

        Being on a dance team to me is like my escape from reality. Meaning that if I have a problem or something that’s making me mad I just tune everybody out and dance. Dancing gives me something to look forward to in life and I feel like if you want to lose some energy or anything then you should try dancing
