Julia has been a devoted member of Destined to Dance since the very beginning. Season after season, she has shown remarkable growth as a dancer. Her dedication and grace shine most brightly in Ballet, where her hard work and passion are truly evident.
After witnessing her commitment and artistry in class, our staff chose to honor Julia with a Pointe Scholarship. Since receiving it, she has continued to rise to the challenge and has exceeded all expectations.
Thank you, Julia, for your perseverance, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our program. We are so proud of you!
In December 2015, Destani was blessed with the opportunity to perform as a back up dancer with Hip Hop Legend Rob Base. Together they continue to perform in multiple cities and arenas all throughout California.
Destani is a hardworking dancer who takes time to not only teach others how to dance, but she also sets aside time to polish and perfect her own dancing technique. In Summer 2016, she attended the Dance Teacher Summit. There she was able to take lessons from world renowned choreographers. She takes every opportunity to share her inspiration and new lessons with her students. A caring heart with a passion for dancing is our founder, Destani Muskelly.
Pointe Scholarship Recipient
In Loving Memory of Jocelyn Saldivar
Jocelyn Saldivar joined our Destined to Dance Family in 2021, alongside her sister Julissa. While her first love was soccer, she chose to add dance to her many talents, bringing her bright spirit and joy into every class. Shortly before joining us, Jocelyn was diagnosed with a brain tumor and bravely endured multiple surgeries.
Despite all she faced, Jocelyn filled our studio with laughter, jokes, and unforgettable energy. Her resilience and positivity inspired everyone around her. Though she could no longer continue dancing due to her treatments, she always cheered on her sister and looked forward to the day they could share the dance floor again.
To honor Jocelyn’s courage and the light she shared, we have created the Hero Scholarship. This scholarship will support future students with tuition costs and medical expenses, carrying Jocelyn’s legacy of strength, joy, and determination forward.
Inspiration For D2D
At Destined to Dance, we are committed to keeping the joy of dance accessible to every family. One of the ways we do this is through our Dance Costume Program, created to help cut costs for families in both our recreational program and our competitive team.
Through the generosity of our community, every donation made goes directly back into the studio to purchase costumes and accessories for our dancers. Thanks to this support, we have already been able to provide hundreds of costumes, helping ensure that no dancer misses the chance to shine on stage.
By giving to this program, you’re not just buying fabric and sequins, you’re helping build confidence, creativity, and unforgettable memories for our dancers.
Hero Scholarship
Costume Program
Destani was named by her late grandmother Janawyentha Shippings. She was one of her biggest supporters and constantly encouraged her to be great. Always in the audience, her grandmother would smile and cheer her on from the front row of every show. In 2011 she lost her life to Congestive Heart Failure. Although she is no longer with us, D2D was created in her memory. As our logo and name are symbolic of what she stood for. Love, purpose, and endless possibilities.
