ECC WINS BIG AT YAGP DALLAS SEMI FINALS 2018!!
In February 2018, ECC company members competed at Youth America Grand Prix and dreamed, prayed, and won BIG! Director, Catherine Lewellen was given the Outstanding Teacher Award. Senior participant Katie Kelley (age 15) placed in the Top 24 in the Senior Classical division out of over 100 participants. Junior participant Ava Arbuckle (age 13) was the recipient of the prestigious and coveted Youth Grand Prix Award, which is the award the judges choose to give to the dancer they feel exceeded all others in both classical and contemporary junior divisions. Pre competitive participant Aubri Parker (age 10) was the recipient of the prestigious and coveted Hope Award, which is the equivalent of the Youth Grand Prix Award described above, only for the pre competitive age division! To say we are proud of these hard working students is an understatement! Katie Kelley will be competing again in a couple of weeks at YAGP Austin and Aubri and Ava will be attending the finals in New York City in April-please continue to dream and pray BIG!!! Congratulations to all!!
