Elevate Dance Academy is proud to announce that seven dancers have been selected as recipients of the prestigious TOP Starz Award and will perform in the opening number at the Talent On Parade Nationals in St. Louis this summer.

The dancers selected for this honor are: Aria Jackson, Avyn Puckett, Maddie Britton, Maia Grissom, Isaac Wise, Logan Ketchum, and Hannah Trembly.

The TOP Starz Award recognizes standout performers who demonstrate exceptional talent, stage presence, performance quality, and dedication throughout the competition season. Dancers selected for the opening number have the opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside top dancers from studios across the country during the national finals event.

“We are incredibly proud of these dancers and the hard work they have poured into this season,” said Kelsey Britton. “Being chosen for the TOP Starz opening number is a huge accomplishment and a reflection of their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence both on and off the stage.”

Elevate Dance Academy, located in Newcastle, provides dance and acrobatics training for students of all ages and is known for its strong focus on technique, performance quality, and positive mentorship.

The studio’s competitive dancers will travel to St. Charles, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, this June to compete at the national level and represent their community on a national stage.
