ATJ Shines At Local Competition

John Lyons — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:38:26 +0000

The Shine Dance Competition, held at the Capital Theatre April 9th and 10th, was a great success!! All the competitors danced well and had fun!! The competition was well run and the scores were close. 11 of our 46 dances scored less than 2 % away from the top score of the entire competition. I am so proud of all the dancers!!

Highlights:

ATJ instructor Emily Kennedy received the Choreography Choice of the Day Award on Saturday for her modern piece “Gabriel”
ATJ instructor Christopher Rich received the Choreography Choice of the Day Award on Sunday for his lyrical piece “Possibility”
ATJ dancer Madison Hetherington received the Young Choreography Award and a scholarship worth $950
ATJ dancer Chloe Lucier received Overall High Score for her solo “White Horse” at the junior competitive level
ATJ teams received 11 Overall High Score Awards at the competition and 10 special awards including 2 judges choice awards

Shawn Desman’s MOVE Dance Competition

John Lyons — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:42:58 +0000

ATJ competitive dancers had the best weekend ever at Shawn Desman’s Competition April 1-3 in Toronto.

His competition entitled “MOVE – The Ultimate Dance Competition” was a blast.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed having the famous pop star be their host for the weekend and got the chance to take class from “So You Think You Can Dance” hip hop choreographer Luther Brown on the Sunday morning. ATJ did awesome. What made this dance competition unique was that there was a round robin type finals on Sunday in which each studio’s top numbers moved on to compete.

Madison Hetherington and Stacia Pepper moved on to finals with their solos. ATJ’s production modern piece “Seven Nation Army” and senior hip hop routine “Bad Chic” also represented ATJ in the finals. ATJ received special awards for “Seven Nation Army” choreographed by Emily Kennedy, “Cooler than Me” choreographed by Chris Rich, and hip hop routines “Pump It Up” and “Bad Chic” also choreographed by Emily Kennedy. Shelby Mackness, Madison Hetherington, and Stacia Pepper also received Special Awards for their solos.

I think the highlight of the entire weekend for the kids was meeting Shawn Desman and Luther Brown. ATJ will definitely be revisiting “MOVE” next year. “I feel the most important thing about these competitions is that the kids enjoy themselves and experience a sense of accomplishment – our ATJ dancers should be proud of what they have achieved”, says ATJ director Lisa Lester-Harris.
