Dancers from the Fenton Dance Academy were auditioning this week for
CBS's Star Search.
"I
received a call to audition this week in Troy," said Susan Carter,
instructor. "This was through professional organizations and
competitions of which the academy is a member."
At the "International Dance Challenge," which took place March
8 in Detroit, Fenton Dance Academy dancers took nine gold medals and a
platinum medal.
The platinum was give to the "majors" team (16-19 years old)
for a musical theatre dance to "Our Guys."
"The intermediate team (9-11 years old) was selected for the
Entertainment Challenge, as was the "Production Company." Both
groups then performed their dances again, competing against five other
selected routines of the day.
A jazz routine to "Read My Mind" took an overall first place.
The junior team was awarded the "Future Rockettes Award."
Melanie Williams, a dancer with the senior team, was picked out of
several dances in which she performed in group routines and given an
award for consistent technical ability, terrific performance skills and
a 1,000-watt smile.
