Several SDA students travelled to Detroit, MI recently to attend the NUVO Convention & Competition held at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn.

Hundreds of students throughout Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Ontario, Canada participated in master classes and auditions held by industry professionals from Los Angeles and NYC.

A competition was also held, judged by the NUVO faculty.

SDA routine "Stand There" won 3rd Overall High Score Senior Groups.

"Turn To Stone" was chosen by the faculty as their STUDIO PICK award winner and had the honour of performing in the Closing Night Faculty Show.

Several scholarhips were awarded by the faculty to students that stood out throughout the weekend seminar, excelling in a particular dance style.

Congratulations SDA Stand Out Scholarship winners;  Madeline Foster (for jazz), Melina Killoran (for hiphop) and Dana Hinding (for ballet).

Congratulations also to SDA High Gold award recipients;  Lydia Heimonen, Laura Tomie & Stephanie Dagenais.
