0 Comments

 
Here are the results from our competitive dance weekend:
  1. Tiyana Griffiths, Sophomore/Mentor, Soloist:  Tap.  High Gold, first in category, first overall in division.
  2. DQ Funk (our 30 member team), ages 7 to 21, Production: Open.  High Gold, first in category, first overall in division.
  3. Torey Robinson, SCSU/Education Major, Soloist: Contemporary.  High Gold, first in category, first overall in division.

A special mention goes to Aissatou Diallo, our Junior Mentor/Instructor/Coach, who helped us prepare for the event.  She is a scholarship contract recipient at Hamden Academy of Dance and Music, and she placed high gold, first in category and second overall in her division for her contemporary solo.  She also competed with a group that placed 5 overall in the competitive division for HADM.  And last, she was selected for a special scholarship to a California Intensive with photo shoot and other goodies.  Congratulations to Aissatou and we thank her for the help coaching our team and participants.

Also, Daedreamers Kaylah G. and Raji C-G. participated in area competitions as well.  Kaylah's trio placed first in category, and first overall in division with high gold (HADM) and Raji's placed 6th for title and 6th overall for her jazz solo, "Glam" with Starr Jazz Company.  She also won a standout-dancer scholarship.  Her trio got high gold, and first overall. 

 
There are some videos and photos all over social media, and you can see all of them in one place at our website daedreamnh.weebly.com early tomorrow morning (or late this evening).

Congratulations to ALL the participants and parents who worked so hard!
Special thanks to Karina Burgos for making us look so good, Nancy Aronsen, who pulled through several miracles at the last minute, Kay Ann and Kerry Ann McCooty for their support and Vani Mohanraj for her help on the day of the event.

It was DEFINITELY a LEARNING EXPERIENCE....we learned a lot of things and some of them the hard way, but now that we have competed, we understand the circuit much better and if we decide to compete again, "we got this" as far as logistics go.

Congratulations to Daedream Director and Wilbur Cross High School Senior, Ronald Dorsey, who has been accepted to Western Connecticut State University, The University of Hartford, Eastern Connecticut State University and his first choice school, Southern Connecticut State University, where he will matriculate in the fall. 

​Ronald is an honor student at Wilbur Cross High School, a member of the Gear Up Program, and one of the directorial team at Daedream.  In his 5th season with the program, Ronald hopes to attend SCSU with a major of Education and wants to teach children in the upper elementary to middle grades.  From what we can surmise, he will have a completely free ride for the four years at Southern due to New Haven Promise (pending) and Gear Up. 

Congratulations Ronald and also to your family for a job well done!

And on to the next bit of news, coming soon!
