The Express Dance Challenge was held in April, and it was a great success for the three students who competed: Braydee, Gemma, and Tylah. They performed solo and duo routines and received recognition for their exceptional talent.
Braydee, who competed in the Musical Theatre (Open), Hip Hop, and Own Choreography Solo categories, received a 3rd place award for her Musical Theatre routine. She also received an Honorable Mention for her Hip Hop Solo and a Special Mention for her Own Choreography Solo. These achievements reflect her hard work and dedication to dance.
Gemma and Tylah also had a remarkable performance. They competed in three duos and received invitations to compete in the state championships later this year. Gemma and Tylah's performances included a 1st Place Lyrical Duo, a 1st Place Contemporary Duo, and a 2nd Place Jazz Duo.
Gemma's solos were outstanding, and she received invitations to compete in the state championships for both her Contemporary Solo and her Jazz Solo. Gemma's Contemporary Solo was the highest-scoring solo of the entire competition. She received a 1st Place award for her Contemporary Solo (Novice) and a 3rd Place award for her Jazz Solo (Open). These achievements reflect her exceptional talent and hard work.
Tylah also had a successful performance, receiving invitations to compete in the state championships for both her Contemporary Solo and Lyrical Solo. She received a 2nd Place award for both routines. Tylah's talent was also recognized with a Judges Choice Award.
In conclusion, the Express Dance Challenge was a great success for all three students who competed. They showcased their talent and dedication to dance, and their hard work paid off with outstanding performances and recognition for their exceptional talent. We look forward to seeing them compete at the state championships later this year.
