Please pardon the mess and a few classes being combined while we make the transition. We hope to have the new space up and running as soon as possible! THAT’S DANCIN’ COMPETITION Congratulations!!! We are so proud of each and every one of our performers. You all did a fantastic job and helped Melodie’s Dance Theatre to win the 1st runner up award for TOP STUDIO. This is an especially great honor considering the maximum points that can be achieved in the beginning and intermediate levels is much lower than in the advanced category and that we only had one dance in the advanced level and still received the second highest total points! Thank you to all teachers, performers and parents for helping to make this possible. In addition, the following dances received the overall award for the highest points in their age group and categories: Rockin Robin – Abbie Ledterman Dating With No Dough – Jenna Shehan and Justin Barnett You Are Beautiful – Allison Gjersvold, Allyson Wilkerson and Selina Valdez Feelin’ Good – Emily Hankinson, Natasha Tran and Karina Valdez Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Savannah Louis & Jason Barnett Little Earthquakes – Emily Hankinson, Natasha Tran and Karina Valdez Hey Mickey – Justin Barnett, Madison Bartlett, Sierra Barnes, Emily Barnett, Allyson Floyd, Alyssa Hodge, Briannah Kraft, Abbie Ledterman, Kate Nelson, Samantha Negron, Hannah Osborne, Mariah Perez, Erin Schwartz, Megan Schwartz, Jenna Shehan, Hannah Van Wyk, and Audrey Williams Hey Batter- "Outstanding Acrobatics Award" Sydney Ahmed, Jason Barnett, Erin Fabian, Sarah Giacomini, Hannah Levy, Madeline Martin, Kimberly Orlando, Taylor Pugh, Claire Smith, Allyson Wilkerson A special thank you to everyone who helped with costumes and props and to all of you who arrived on time and supported all of our studio rules such as not eating in costumes and only going on stage for awards if you are in costume.
