FARMINGTON — The Thomas Performing Arts Dance Center’s 2023 Competition Team plans to perform its competition dances in a showcase on Friday and Saturday, June 2 and 3.
The June 2 event will be held at 6:30 p.m., and the June 3 event is scheduled for 11 a.m. Both shows will be held at the University of Maine at Farmington Emery Community Arts Center on Academy Street.
These dancers work hard and compete throughout Maine and New Hampshire against studios from around New England. Competition dance teaches students much more than dance, as they hear direct feedback and correction from judges, from their instructors and others, according to a news release from the dance center.
Working as a team, learning from their mistakes, taking constructive feedback, exhibiting discipline and focus are all valuable skills that these athletes learn throughout their season.
There will be baked goods, water and a raffle at intermission.
Tickets cost $20 and are available from a competition dancer or email [email protected]. Proceeds will help offset costs at Nationals this year.
