Last weekend Centre Stage School's Dance Company students travelled to the Helix Theatre in Dublin to compete at Destination Dance competition 2023. Competing in a range of different categories and dance styles (Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary and Commercial), the students of Centre Stage School brought 32 different dances to the competition with team members ranging from 9 to 18 years old. They placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in many of their categories, and 5 of their pieces qualified for the European finals in the UK in May. These young dancers did themselves extremely proud in a very competitive environment and took home lots of new silverware for their studio. But more importantly they showed what they can do on a national stage, instilling incredible confidence and belief in their talents. The Pulse Dance Company (9-12yrs), Ignite Dance Company (13-15yrs) and Senior Dance Company (16yrs+) train 4-10 hours per week in the areas of Jazz, Ballet, Acrodance, Commercial, Flexibility and Strength. They have been working towards this competition since September with their teachers Aoibhinn Quirke and David O'Connor. Aideen McAuliffe and all at Centre Stage School are so proud of the outstanding achievements of this team and the dedicated weekly commitment they make to excel at dance.
