In Her Own Words - Finding Clarity in the College Dance Recruiting Process
In an industry often filled with comparison and confusion, dancers need support that meets them where they are. This testimony offers a firsthand look at how Studio 2 Stadium supports dancers through structure, mindset, and individualized guidance during the recruitment process.
The collegiate dance journey can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unclear, especially when there’s no single roadmap that fits everyone.
We often hear from dancers navigating recruitment that having clarity, structure, and someone who understands the process makes all the difference. The following testimony was shared with us by a dancer using Studio 2 Stadium, and we’re sharing it in full because it captures the experience better than we ever could.
A Dancers Testimony
I cannot say enough about the impact that Abbey Nugent and Studio 2 Stadium have had on dancers and the dance community as a whole. In an industry that is often overwhelming, comparison-driven, and filled with one-size-fits-all advice, this app stands out as something truly different. Personal, intentional, and empowering.
What makes Studio 2 Stadium so powerful is that it doesn’t just give dancers generic advice or vague motivation. It provides structure, clarity, and individualized guidance that actually meets dancers where they are. Every dancer is different, with different goals, pressures, timelines, and this platform respects that. Instead of feeling lost or unsure of what step comes next, the app helps dancers build a path that fits their journey and their future.
One of the most meaningful parts of Studio 2 Stadium for me has been the ability to schedule calls directly with Abbey. Those conversations have genuinely kept me going throughout my recruitment journey. Having someone who understands the process, listens, encourages, and helps you refocus when things feel overwhelming is something you simply can’t replace. In moments of doubt, stress, or confusion, being able to talk things through with Abbey has brought clarity, confidence, and motivation when I needed it most.
Beyond guidance and planning, the mindset support is just as impactful. Studio 2 Stadium helps dancers develop confidence, consistency, discipline, and belief in themselves — especially during the recruitment process, which can be emotionally exhausting. The app and Abbey’s mentorship together remind dancers that their timeline is valid, their goals are possible, and their efforts matter.
What truly sets Abbey and her work apart is how much she genuinely cares about dancers as people, not just performers. I’ve seen how dancers using Studio 2 Stadium become more focused, more confident, and more in control of their own path. They stop guessing. They stop comparing. They start trusting their process and believing in themselves.
If you’re a dancer navigating the recruitment journey and looking for real guidance, real support, and someone in your corner, Studio 2 Stadium is it. Abbey Nugent has built something truly special, and the impact it has on dancers goes far beyond an app.
