Mia and Tori both arrived to Grand Valley's dance department as total bunheads. They were both bumped up to Advanced Ballet the first week of school, which instantly created a bond.

Bree Dean
Day-Of Coordinator
Bree and Tori met while attending Grand Valley State University. Like Mia and Tori, Bree was also a ballerina, isolated by most freshman in the Advanced Ballet class.

Ruben Hanohano
Day-Of Coordinator
It took just one walk home from their dance club, Momentum, to realize they truly needed each other to balance out the universe.

Soon Tori's cat, King, then Jake joined the mix - and the crazy group had a wonderful time in college together.
