Just Dance! Company kicked off the 2022 season at Revive Dance Convention in Columbia, S.C. This competition was the group dance choreography debut for two Just Dance! alums and both earned top overall honors for their group sizes. Gracen Nelson ’19 debuted Crave You (junior jazz large group) and Hide and Seek (senior contemporary small group). Justice Wooden ’21 debuted Hit the Dance Floor (mini hip hop line).
Hayden Quick (mini) and Lana Baird (senior) were named Elite Honored Dancers, which is the highest award possible. Congratulations!
