Eurythmics Dance Studio had an action packed couple of weeks as dancers competed in two back to back festivals.

Roughly 70- 80 competitive dancers took part in both the Terpsichore Festival held in Calgary(April 27-30) and the Nova Dance Challenge held in Olds(May 5-7).

Jodi Aasen, Studio Owner says they are proud of the growth demonstarted by all dancers."The last two festivals really showcased all their hard work, dedication and teamwork."

Aasen, shares festivals offer different experiences, feedback, and an opportunity to connect with other dancers. "The Terpsichore Festival held at the Edge is always such a great festival to see other dancers from dance schools where the dancers train at an elite level. This I find is very inspiring to our dancers to see where their training can take them. Our last festival in Olds was the icing on the cake for all of our dancers. Although scores are not important, it was great to see all their marks improve since the first festival. Again, proving how hard they worked."

All dancers are in their final two weeks of training as they prepare to celebrate 20 years of dance at the year end recital held at the Jubilee Auditorium on May 28, which will showcase all their skills and hardwork.
