Soon to be everyone’s favorite Houk sister.

Matt's youngest brother. Don't be fooled by the age differential; he could easily take Matt or Jack in a fight with years of JuJitsu prowess! You better stretch if you are getting into a dance battle with this young gun.

Matt and Craig have spent their friendship in pursuit of athletic excellence.

Abigail and Allie’s friendship was born at the peanut-free lunch table in 4th grade, despite neither of them having a peanut allergy.
