I can’t thank all the staff at The Line Up who worked with me throughout the year enough. I am forever grateful for the friendships I made with other Line Up models & am lucky to have had Kate Happe as my fellow Line Up VIP.  It was easy to represent a company whose values fit well with mine & products were made of the best quality. I am lucky to be have been able to work with the staff & models during photo shoots & video shoots, they treated us like family & couldn’t have been more happy to represent The Line Up."* Check out a few photos and videos from her season, below! ![Get to know Ali Ogle](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/ali.jpg?width=390&name=ali.jpg) ![Meet Ali Ogle](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image8.jpg?width=390&name=image8.jpg) ## ![The influential people in Ali's life](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image3-3.jpg?width=261&name=image3-3.jpg) ![Ali's dance team](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Group-shot.jpg?width=261&name=Group-shot.jpg) ![Ali Ogle](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image4-2.jpg?width=261&name=image4-2.jpg) ## ![Ali won 2nd place](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image1-(002).jpg?width=261&name=image1-(002).jpg) ![Ali at Nuvo event](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image2-3.jpg?width=261&name=image2-3.jpg) ![Ali at the Dance Awards](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image7.jpg?width=261&name=image7.jpg)   ## Kate Happe ![Meet The Line Up VIP: Kate Happe](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Kate%20Unitard_28-sm.jpg?width=700&name=Kate%20Unitard_28-sm.jpg) This past season Kate consistently placed in the top 6 teen solo at every convention she attended.

My year as a VIP was just incredible. Not only did I get to represent the amazing dancewear, but I was able to watch my solo costume go from design concept (Mollie Sylvestre designed) to dancing my heart out in the final product. Go check out the [Kate Unitard](https://www.thelineup.com/kate-unitard.html)!!!  I thoroughly enjoyed every photo shoot with my Line Up family.
