Performances and Competitions...We keep it moving!

Well since the last post, we have had so much going on! One Saturday, some members of the CPAA Dance Company and the CPAA Kidz Crew performed for the Queen City Sarcoidosis Foundation's Annual Dinner. They had a beautiful formal dinner. Our girls performed some inspirational numbers and also some fun, high-energy entertaining dances. The Kidz Crew performed "Move Shake Drop", the CPAA Dance Company performed "Help the People", and Cameron, Toni and Zoe performed their solos. The crowd LOVED our performances. The girls definitely gave hope and inspiration and rocked the crowd too!

This past weekend, the Dance Company and the Kidz Crew traveled to Asheville NC to compete at Encore Dance Competition to the Stars. Also at the competition were other talented, local studios Miller Street Dance Academy and BB Dance Productions. There was so much talent at this competition. It was awesome to be amongst so many talented dancers.

Our girls performed so well! Not only did they perform their numbers the BEST they have ever performed them, but they also scored extremely high! All of our group dances received Platinums, and "Church" received the highest honor to receive...a Diamond! Only two studios actually received a Diamond at Encore in Asheville. We are so proud to be one of those studios! Here are the results:

"Church"
     1st Overall Junior Elite Small Groups
     Junior/Petite Choreography Award (chosen from    
     all dances performed on Saturday!)
"Dance With Somebody" (Cameron)
     1st Overall Petite Elite Solo

Encore was our last regional competition of the season. Next up, we are preparing for the recital! The 2013 Spring Dance Recital is "Dancing Around the World". It will be held on June 1, 2013 at 5:00pm at Nation Ford High School Auditorium. We are so excited to have all of our classes, as well as the CPAA Dance Company and Kidz Crew perform in our annual recital. Make sure you get your tickets ASAP!
