Triple S Dance Competition Results
This past weekend we attended Triple S Dance Competition in Grand Forks. This is our 8th season competing at Triple S. Each season, we compete against several studios. We get to see their growth and their creativity come to life on stage, along with our own dancers develop and growth. To give our dancers who are interested the opportunity to be able to have performance outlet is so valuable for them to grow as dancers. This season we have two teams - Prima (Advance) & Premiere (Intermediate); as well as our G Crew (who perform at in-town competitions).
We just want to congratulate ALL dancers and teams this weekend on their success. Below are the Gasper's School of Dance results for the weekend if you are interested.
