We have big shoes to fill, but every year is a new year

The Jazz division just got a lot flashier! Defending national champs, Dance Mania took the floor in the Small Senior Jazz division with poise, elegance and unforgettable costumes! Dance Mania came to UDA Nationals hoping to place in the top bracket of their division and take home a bid to the 2017 Dance Worlds! 

To train, the dancers take an hour and a half ballet and acrobatics class each week to add elite tricks and acrobatic skills to their routine; this helps set them apart from the other routines the judges will see in their division. 



Head coach, Dana Parsons told us about this year's choreography. 

The girls really love to perform. We like to pick routines that they enjoy doing because they love entertaining the crowd. They really want to go out and give the crowd a show!
