Astound Dance Academy announced the results of the competition its Performance Company participated in. This past weekend, the group of seven dancers traveled to Grand Rapids, Mich., to present 13 dances at the Rainbow National Dance Competition. Performance Company brought home two first-place overall scores, one from a soloist and a third place overall score. They also received two cash prizes for their top overall scores. Of the 13 numbers taken to competition, four earned Double Platinum scores (the highest possible score) and nine of their numbers earned Platinum scores. “These dancers have worked incredibly hard this year and show growth each and every week.
