While awards and accolades are always nice for their hard work, some of the biggest steps our dancers took this weekend were away from the stage in sportsmanship, flexibility & teamwork and focus & determination. Plus learning the importance of naps and coffee! While feeling proud of all they accomplished just outside of the Big Apple, some of our dancers still had their sights set on other goals a bit closer to home in Philadelphia…
A few weeks later, the spotlight would shine brightly on our soloists as they take the stage for a weekend dedicated to showcasing their individual talent and artistry. Continuing with the team’s unofficial motto of the season, “Small But MIGHTY,” our dancers were ready to once again leave it all on the dance floor. With the support of their teammates and teachers cheering them on from the audience, our soloists deliver performances that are nothing short of spectacular. From emotive storytelling to technical precision, each soloist captivated the audience and judges with their unique style and flair, leaving a lasting impression for all the audience in King of Prussia, PA.
