This past July 2009, over sixty competitive SDA dancers and their families travelled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to compete at the prestigious Showstopper American Dance Championships EAST COAST NATIONAL FINALS!

This week long event held at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center had over two thousand routines entered from over seventy five dance studios representing such states as the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, New England, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Canada.

After several days of semi-final competition, the SDA Mini, Junior, Teen and Senior Companies all qualified to re-compete in the TOP 10 DANCE-OFF for national honours and the chance to be crowned National Champions.

After giving a stellar performance, the ten judge panel gave the nod and crowned Studio Dance Arts the 2009 JUNIOR NATIONAL GRAND CHAMPIONS!

What a great debut on the national stage!

Congratulations to the entire SDA Company on being TOP 10 FINALISTS!

We are so proud of each and every one of you for representing Sault Ste. Marie with such class & style.

WAY TO GO!
