On Sunday November 23rd, two of our dancers, Claire and Zoey proudly represented the Fitzgerald School at the CRDM USA Southern Championships held at the University of Delaware. With competitors from 16 different schools, the level of talent was incredibly strong- but both dancers rose to the occasion with grace, confidence, and beautiful dancing.
Claire had an exceptional day, placing in every single one of her dances- all in the Top 3! She will now be moving up to Beginner B in the dances where she took home the gold.
Zoey also delivered an outstanding performance, earning Top 3 placements in nearly all of her dances and securing a first place, qualifying her to move up to the Intermediate level this January.
Proud Teachers, Proud Community!
Events like the Southern Championships remind us why we love what we do. They give our dancers the opportunity to challenge themselves, form lasting memories, and celebrate their passion on a bigger stage. For parents, teachers, and teammates, watching Claire and Zoey shine was a moment of immense pride!
We are so proud of both dancers for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship.
Amazing job ladies, keep shining! Go Team Fitzgerald!
