Revive Dance Convention Charleston is the first all-company competition of 2017 for Just Dance!
“I was so excited to see the kids on stage – they were pumped and it showed,” Ms. Buffi said. “They remembered the corrections that we’ve given them and we could see how they’ve come together as a dance family. “
Just Dance! earned the Entertainment Award for “Misdemeanor,” but it was “Spine” that captured the most awards. It was the highest scoring dance for our studio, a Revive faculty favorite, fan favorite finalist and contemporary award winner.
Other Revive faculty favorite runner-ups from Just Dance! were “Enter One,” “Passacaglia” and “Goodbye.”

Convention
Revive Dance Convention is more than just a competition. Dancers also took workshop classes from the Revive faculty (two of the Revive faculty members weren’t in Charleston because they were dancing in the Academy Awards!).
