Well, what can we possibly say about this year’s dance season? From summer convention last year right through to our most recent competition, we have had amazing dancing – sometimes rewarded and sometimes not, but constantly our dancers supported one another through some tears, many laughs, and much fatigue … we rose to every challenge!
This season’s guest choreographers outdid themselves and our talented faculty made sure each dance was right where it needed to be in time for competition. The choreography from within the walls of CSD required our dancers to be strong and technical, tap into emotions and reach new goals set out by both the choreographer’s and the teachers’ vision. You all continue to impress us, time and time again!
With Nationals on the horizon, let’s take a moment to acknowledge CSD’s many regional accomplishments (below).
– A very proud CSD faculty
