We are beyond proud of our competition team for their amazing performance at Energy National Dance Competition this weekend! 💜
Our dancers took the stage with three beautiful group routines, earning:
🥇 1st Overall – Large Group “A Little Party”
🥇 1st Overall – Small Group “Welcome to the Jungle”
🌟 High Gold Adjudication – All Three Dances
For many of these dancers, this was their very first competition, and they rose to the occasion with confidence, teamwork, and so much heart. Watching their growth, dedication, and love for dance shine on stage was truly something special.
We couldn’t be more proud of this group of girls. Their hard work, commitment, and passion are already paying off, and this is just the beginning of an amazing season
