Comp Dancers Overcome to Shine at Competition

Once again, we are very proud of our competition team dancers performance on and off the stage. We were all very disappointed in the poor venue, poor floor surface, poor sound system, poor organization, and poor knowledge and experience of the judges. We will not return to this competition in the future. I was very disappointed given the name of the competition and the material presented on their website.

That said...I would like to award my own special "The Show Must Go On" award to all our dancers who overcame these obstacles and did a fabulous job - all with a positive attitude and great team effort. Not only did you learn from the experience, you all pulled together as a team. Thank you for rising to the occassion and acting like champions!
