[06/07/20]   For our final ECE challenge we couldn’t pick just one winner! See the comments for their videos!

Congratulations to Brooklyn & Kenzie and their mom, Pili and her mom, and Chandler & Isley and their mom!

We loved seeing your parents do your TikTok dances with you all!

With recital weekend upon us, who would’ve thought we’d be wrapping up our 6th year this way!? The teachers and staff at ECE are so incredibly proud of the dedication, perseverance and hard work that our dancers put forth in this crazy time of uncertainty. As the spring unfolded we were met with decisions we never imagined having to make, yet our dance families rolled with it with their flexibility and understanding. We did it together!
So we thank you, our ECE families and friends, for your support. We look forward to kicking off a new season as soon as we get the OK. We cant wait to get back to the studio to make more memories! We hope you plan on joining us! We at ECE are thankful to have the best dance families around!

Introducing our Summer Throwback Series!

Every Friday during the summer we’re going to take a look back at some of our favorite dances over the years!

You don’t need a large fancy studio to continue to move & work hard everyday during quarantine ✨ — Loved seeing my kids going full out with every move & emotion in their different confined quarantine spaces in Monday’s Quick Choreo Class 🤩

ECE CHALLENGE!

Time to (virtually) grab a couple friends for this weeks ECE challenge!

Get a couple of your ECE friends and create a dance video! The catch is your last move has to be their first move!

Posted is an example from our ECE Alums Evina, Kaya, and McKenna!

You have until Saturday night at 11:00pm to show us your video! Song is Calabria 2007 Instrumental and can be created with or without tiktok.

To enter post on Instagram or Facebook, tag the studio (@eastcoastedge14) and use the hashtag #ecelastmovechallenge. Our judges will be voting for their favorite on Sunday! The winner will have their video reposted on our studio Facebook and Instagram. This is open to all ECE dancers!

Congratulations to Morgan for being the winner of our ECE photo shoot challenge! Such a pretty picture!

We loved all of your pictures and had a hard time picking a winner! Check out our Instagram stories for more of our photo shoot entries!
