The first of May our competition teams took the stage at Kids Artistic R***e in Fortmill, SC. The competition was fierce and we shared the stage with so many talented dancers from other studios - it was a three day competition and our largest one for the season. We are proud to say that our DPAC dancers came out on top in so many divisions even with some of our dancers moving up a level due to the rules - it was a great weekend with great competition. We are so proud of our dancers - Here are some of the highlights !
