Center Stage Dance Academy attended the Southern Council of Dance Masters Chapter 44 Solo Title Competition in Greenville and wowed the judges.

During the weekend, each contestant was judged in interview, completed auditions in ballet, tap, jazz, acrobatics and modern styles of dance. They also performed a dance solo in the genre of their choice. Students from Center Stage Dance Academy were the winners in all age categories and will go on to compete at Dance Masters of America Nationals in July in Nashville, Tenn.
