Where Dreams Come True!!

In July The Dance Shoppe’s Competitive Dance Team travelled to Disney World in Orlando Florida to compete against some of the top studios from Canada and the United States at the Star Power National Dance Championships. The Dance Shoppe Dancers, as always, put their best foot forward and had great success!

Dancers aged 5-15yrs have been training at The Dance Shoppe for this event for many months. Dancers first had to qualify at the Regional event in Niagara Falls, NY in April. The Dance Shoppe is very proud of its youngest company, as they stole the judges’ hearts with their Acro-Jazz performance of “Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Ah” and their Tap performance of “Codfish Ball”. These performances, along with all their other 72 competitive performances qualified to participate in the National Event.

Out of 1300 routines throughout the 5 day National competition, The Dance Shoppe won two spots to perform their Production routine “China” and a Jazz routine “Just Wanna” at the Battle of the Stars! This elite event was broadcast on-line to viewers around the world in countries such as Brazil, Moscow, South Africa and many others. Both routines placed 4^th overall in their respective age divisions. The Dance Shoppe once again did Milton proud!

Dancers were honored to have the opportunity to perform at the Swan and Dolphin Resort at Walt Disney World and will forever cherish the memories made with their team mates and families. Disney, where dreams really do come true!

The Dance Shoppe would like to thank our many sponsors who helped us fundraise to get to Disney. The dancers and parents really appreciate your support.
