CPAA students were phenomenal in this year's recital. Our theme for the 2013 Spring Recital was "Dancing Around the World". All of our recital classes did dances from different parts of the world. We took our audience on a ride all around the world.

We are so proud of our students and their accomplishments from this past year. They have grown so much as dancers, and as people. We couldn't have made this year so successful without our wonderful parents...a BIG THANKS to you all :)

Before the recital started, we played a slideshow of pictures taken by Lauren Cordova at Dress Rehearsal. Many parents wanted to view it again. So...here it is!

The CPAA Dance Company and the CPAA Kidz Crew will perform at Taste of Charlotte on Saturday, June 8th at 3:30pm. Come and support CPAA at the Center Stage at the intersection of Tryon and Trade St. We will be sure to take many pictures and share them with you all!

Summer Classes start on Monday, June 10th. To participate in the CPAA Dance Company or the CPAA Kidz Crew, you must take at least 4 weeks of classes during the summer. Look up the Summer Classes for more information and register ASAP. Space is limited!

Until next time...peace, love and dance :)

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
