We’re coming to you live from our Toledo Ohio National Finals! Words cannot describe how exciting this week has been. One of our most riveting nights is, hands down, our Title Competition because the talent and showmanship is just out of this world. We had 61 contestants hoping to walk away with the title of Miss Dance America, Miss Teen Dance America, Miss Junior Dance America, and Miss Petite Dance along with the male counterparts.
We closed the auditorium after an exciting morning of group performances to get our stage prepped and ready. This way each of our title performers can shine bright on the KAR National stage. The excitement of evening began promptly with parents and teachers rushing into the auditorium in search of the best seat to watch their dancer light up the stage.
Our exciting opening number gave us a chance to see what moves the dancers love and a glimpse of the amazing talent to come. We learned so much about our dancers and their personality: like who inspires them and of course their favorite Disney Character. After each competitor performed their award winning routines it was time for the crownings!
We would like to congratulate all of our new National Titleholders on this incredible feat. So join me in saying congratulations to our new Miss Petite: Reagan Burgess, Miss Junior: Paisley French, Mr. Junior: Brendan Farris, Miss Teen: Olivia Beauchamp, Mr. Teen: Nick Farris, Miss Dance; Mackenzie Belange! Sometimes the trophies and crowns were taller than the dancers (can you believe it?). However, we felt it was only appropriate for the royalty that we were fortunate enough to see tonight.
Congrats, again to all of our New National Titleholders!
