Over this past weekend, our Just Dance! Collective Team (as well as a dancer from our Mini Mini Team) attended their first convention of the 23-24 season in Summerville, SC: Ignite Dance Competition.
Jam Packed Days of Versatile Training
The dance floor ignited with a burst of energy as our dancers immersed themselves in a whirlwind of convention classes, guided by remarkable instructors spanning various genres and specialties:
• Jazz
• Hip Hop
• Contemporary
• Lyrical
• Improv
• Jumps, Turns, + Leaps
• Latin Jazz
• Modern Fusion
I liked (the convention) because it was really fun and I learned a lot of new things!
