We gather with five members of the Kaba Modern dance team's "K10" class to reflect on our shared history and how our lives have evolved since joining the competitive team 15 years ago. Reconnecting and reminiscing, we explore how our dance team experience shaped our approach to adulthood, relationships, and personal growth.

• Getting older means shifting priorities while core values remain the same
• Time becomes more precious as we age, making it harder to maintain connections
• Dance team memories include costume mishaps, all-night practices, and the shared experience of working toward perfection
• Leadership lessons from coordinating the team translate to professional and personal life
• Finding that feeling of "team accomplishment" is difficult to replicate in adult working life
• Maintaining relationships takes intentional effort but quality matters more than frequency
• Personal aspirations include health, housing, family, and maintaining important connections
• Messages to our future selves focus on happiness, growth, and self-compassion
