Just Dance! Improves Performance Quality to Earn Best Scores Ever

Just Dance! has been competing at Hall of Fame Dance Challenge for many years and these are the best scores the team has ever received. Just Dancers received six grand slams – a 293.5 or above, out of a possible 300. It is the highest score given and Just Dance! has never before received this award at Hall of Fame Dance Challenge.

“We have developed a stronger company than in years past,” Ms. Lindsey explains. “These scores are indicative of the growth of our students. Competition judges consistently tell us that our dancers are technical, but we’ve really been working on improving our performance quality – faces, energy and great choreography.”
