All the Right Moves at MADM Chapter 17 Regional Competition 2025
All the Right Moves at MADM Chapter 17 Regional Competition 2025
From March 15th to 16th, 2025, Dance Expressions’ company dancers competed at the MADM Chapter 17 Regional Dance Competition in Manassas, Virginia. For many of our dancers, this was their first competition of the season, and for some, their first ever! Our outstanding company choreographers, Ms. Pam, Ms. India, Ms. Angelika, Ms. Jen, and Ms. Gabi, have been diligently working to prepare our dancers to compete since September.
During this weekend, it was gratifying for teachers and families alike to see the outcome of the dancers’ hard work in technique classes and company rehearsal. Everyone performed beautifully on stage and had a lot of fun supporting one another and other studios at the competition. At MADM, we always encounter many friendly and familiar faces since our chapter meets for workshops many times a year. It’s great to see friendships blossom across different studios; the dance world can be very small!
For the company dancers, the hard work does not stop there! At DE, we believe in pushing our dancers for growth year-round so that we can elevate to the next level each time we perform. Stay tuned to see our company dancers compete at the Energy Dance Competition from April 25th through April 27th.
