DE Company’s 2024 Competition Season Recap

Dance Expressions’ company dancers recently completed a spectacular season of regional dance competitions. It kicked off in March with the Mid-Atlantic Dance Master’s Chapter 17 Competition in Winchester, Virginia, followed by Energy Competition in Glen Burnie, and finished with Beyond the Stars in Laurel. Dance competitions not only provide a platform for our company dancers to perform but also a chance to bond with one another, receive feedback from industry professionals, and dance alongside peers outside of the Dance Expressions community. 

The company season is a testament to the unwavering dedication and discipline of our dancers. It commences long before Spring, with dancers diligently attending technique classes and weekly rehearsals to master their choreographed dances. From our Sparkling Stars to our Seniors, these dancers pour countless hours of practice, showcasing their passion and commitment. The growth of all 46 company dancers throughout this process is not just inspiring, but a remarkable achievement that deserves celebration. 

This spring, Ms. Pam, Ms. India, Ms. Angelika, Ms. Clarissa, and Ms. Charlene presented pieces to be adjudicated at the competitions. These dances ranged from solos to large group productions. Some highlights from the season include an improvisation competition at Energy, where many of our dancers shined! Grace Elizabeth Douglas and Ava Wheeler made it to the top three in their age categories, and Bailey Rea Burtis won the 13 and under category! Ms. India’s “Like A Star” won the highest scoring group at Energy, and Ms. Angelika won a Showmanship Choreography award for her dance “Sueltate” at Beyond the Stars. Overall, our dances received high scores at each competition and numerous judge’s awards, scholarships, and monetary awards. 

Congratulations to the dancers, choreographers, and families that made this season a success!
