Our first two competitions are in the books. I am so proud of our students for doing so well and having fun doing it, and making it look easy. At Showstoppers Dance Competition we cleaned house!! We had 3 DOUBLE PLATINUMS, 22 PLATINUMS, & 3 GOLD, 11 First in Category, 8 Second in Category, 5 Third in Category, 1 Fourth in Category, 2 Fifth in Category, and 1 Sixth in Category. 90 Days (Seniors Alyssa and Ely), and Senior dancer Ely Corkron’s solo Creep, took home 1st place OVERALL. Senior dancer Laney Dawson’s solo I Love You took home 5th place OVERALL, as well as Make up your Mind (duet performed by Senior dancers Ely and Ellie), and also with 5th OVERALL is our Mini Hip Hop team with their group dance Cha-Ching$! Our Senior dance team took home 6th OVERALL, with their lyrical dance, Exile. Our Mini Dance Team also took 8th OVERALL for their Jazz Dance, Man Child, and 10th OVERALL for their tap dance to Pretty Girl Era!!!!
At GEMS Dance Competition we only had 2 competitors and 3 solos performed.
Ely Corkron performed Creep, and Ode to Love Lost. Kali McVey performed Fire on Fire. Ely received a Platinum for both dances, 5th OVERALL in the Triple Diamond Level, and a HIDDEN GEMS Award(you must have a score of 294 out of 300 MINIMUM to a quality for this award). Kali’s Fire on Fire won a High Gold, and a 4th OVERALL in the Double Diamond level.
I am so proud of all my teachers, helpers, parents, and most importantly the students that pour their hearts and souls out on that stage! You guys are amazing and I feel quite privileged to be your Director and Coach!!
