"We'll Lift You Up" - Large Group Lyrical in Level 2 - 1st Place at Nationals & Thunderbolt Buzzer

We’ll Lift You Up is a deeply meaningful lyrical large group dance dedicated in loving memory of Melissa, who passed away in August. Set to “Cry Out to Jesus,” this piece focuses on surrounding Natalie with love, strength, and support during an unimaginable season of grief. Through emotional movement, connection, and powerful storytelling, our dancers represent what it means to hold someone up when they are hurting — to stand beside them, pray for them, and remind them they are not alone. This dance is a tribute to love, faith, loss, and the strength found in community. It honors Melissa’s memory while lifting up Natalie with grace, compassion, and hope. Performed by Turn Out Dance Academy. *Choreographed by Stephanie Hughes & Gillian Howard
