Monika and Patrick were also the Executive Directors/Instructors of "Ultimate Dance Studio" of Pilot Mountain, NC for 20 AMAZING years before closing their studio to focus on their family and Ultimate Starz. They know first hand the struggles of finding Good, Quality, Affordable, and most of all, Fun Dance Conventions and Competitions for their own dancers to go to.

While they both danced early on and even won a National title as the "2013 National USA Over-All Tiny Duo/Duet" winners, they have both found a huge love for sports. Jaxon excels in Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Wrestling AND Journey excels in Basketball, Disc Golf, Football, and Softball. "Bella Boo Boo Priddy" and "Rusty Chewbacca Bear Priddy" are their four legged siblings who the family spoil completely rotten.
