The CRDM USA Nationals were held on July 25th- July 27th in Monticello, NY and what an incredible weekend it was! The Fitzgerald dancers brought their passion, dedication, and joy to the stage—and every single one placed. Many competed at Nationals for the first time and earned coveted spots in the Top 3!
This competition is a steppingstone to even greater heights. We’re excited to continue this journey, and we’re already looking forward to the next competition season. Our dancers have shown that with hard work and determination, anything is possible!
We’re beyond proud to showcase our team’s outstanding results:
