"I love being on Southern Charm because growing up I always wanted to dance. I would be in the kitchen with my headphones in just dancing. Being on Southern Charm is literally making the inner child inside of me scream with excitement and joy. This team makes me feel so good about myself."
-Janai, SR Veteran

"For me, being on Southern Charm is a place where I can go and be myself without the fear of being judged and where I can just dance my worries away. It's being surrounded by amazing and empowering ladies who make me feel like the best version of myself!!"
-Ashlynn, SR Veteran
"I'm in my first season of Southern Charm, and I've already fallen in love with it! The team members are incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with any dance-related issues. Unlike my experiences with other teams where making friends was a challenge, at Southern Charm everyone is approachable and engaging. As the quiet girl in the back, I'm constantly approached by teammates who make me feel included. Practice sessions are a joy because of the fun atmosphere they create, and everyone is dedicated to improving themselves."
-Mary, SR Rookie
"I love being part of SCDT because it brings me so much happiness. It's a way for me to get away from the stress of life and be with girls that feel like family to me. I wouldn't want to be on any other team."
-Amber, SR Veteran
"I have been a part of the Southern Charm Dance team for seven years. I could not imagine being on any other team; the friendships I have made are so different. When you join this team, you join more than a dance team. You are joining a sisterhood. I have known some of these girls for twelve years, and I have known some for one year, and you would never be able to tell the difference in years known; we all act like we have known each other our whole lives; there is just something so special to have a dance family. When I have gone through my roughest times, these girls are the first ones I call and the first to plan a get-together to cheer me up. We make it a point to have team bonding moments, not because we must but because we enjoy spending time together. I could not live my life without this group of girls. I have gained thirty new family members, and life would be so lame without them; the number of times they have pulled me out of a depression is tremendous. They even saved my life when I had a seizure; I’m forever grateful for the Southern Charm Dance Team."
-Ashely, SR Veteran
"I like being on southern charm because they helped me grow my dance experience. Everyone is so nice and helps me even when I mess up. Everyone on the team accepts me as not just a friend but family. They encourage me to never give up and keep trying."
-Braelynn, JR Rookie
"I love having my daughter a part of Southern Charm because they’ve accepted her as she is and shown her true dance abilities. I love watching her smile at every practice and function. This team has brought out so much in Braelynn. They don’t see the disability Braelynn has, they see it as her ability and let her true colors shine. This team isn’t just a bunch of girls that want to dance, they are truly family."
-Lisa, Bralynn's Mom
"I have been dancing since I was 18 months old. Since I was little, I have always wanted to join a parade team since my mom had her own team. Dancing helps me get away from everything and just be myself. When I'm with my dance family, I don't have to worry about everyday things."
-Cailyn, JR Captain
"I found a sisterhood with the Charmers, and everyone is very welcoming. I finally feel like I belong and found a home with the Charmers. I get to do what I love to do best."
-Kacey, JR Rookie
"I love being on Southern Charm Dance Team because all the girls are so nice. We are like one big family. I also love that if one of us are struggling with a dance someone is always there to help you."
