DLC Rage, ages 7-12, barely fell short of 1st place and ended as the runner up in Youth Level 1 division. The team upgraded their stunt section to include more difficulty and improved their over all score by a point from the last competition.
DLC Swarm, ages 9-15, ended in 6th place in the Junior Level 2 division. The team suffered 2 points in deductions after a stunt fall, but still managed to improve their overall technique score by 2 points from the last competition.
Dance Lab also had two athletes compete in individual skill events. Pailee Fontana, age 12, competed in the Youth Extreme
Tumbling division. This division consists of a 60 second high level tumbling routine. Pailee competed an impressive routine and ended 2nd in the division. Taya Gill, age 12, competed in the Youth Best Jumps division. She edged out 2nd place with her difficulty scores and took home the 1st place trophy. The coaches were proud of both girls for being confident enough to compete individually.
