Studio dances to Orlando

Lee Anne Stewart Dance Schools recently received four awards at the 2006 Chicago competition of Dance Olympus/Dance America. Three teachers, 21 students and a group of parents traveled to the convention, where students took classes in jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop and ballet, as well as competing in the regional convention.* Winning at the regional level gave the Stewart Dance Schools an opportunity to take all four of the competing routines to the summer national competition at Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Taking first place was the Intermediate Small group tap routine to "James Bond Theme." Receiving second place awards were "Planet Rock" in the Senior small group tap division, and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit" in the Senior Line tap division.
