On April 15, 2011 the City of Tarpon Springs held its annual Talent Show.  This show brings members of the community together for the ultimate showing of local talent.  In this years talent show for the very first time, Just Dance Academy competed under the direction of head instructor Heather Walts.   Just Dance Academy had 12 of Tarpon Springs finest young ladies perform in their amazing choreographed routine entitled “Circle Of Life”.

Girls Rock The House At Talent Show

The girls of Just Dance Academy rocked the house in their performance of the Lion King’s Circle Of Life.  The crowd of hundreds in a sold out theatre rose to their feet with a roaring applause so appropriate for this performance.   The choreography made the viewer recognize the power of dance and placed you in the jungle of wild animals through this modern dance.  ”This was a performance that made me so proud of our girls”, said Heather Walts; Head Instructor.   The girls wore animal print face paints of leopard spots, tiger stripes and zebra prints.   “They were absolutely amazing, and it brought chills to the back of my neck” said attendee Mark Reis. 

Just Dance Academy Takes 2nd Place

A local youth, Emilio Serrano performed an amazing break-dance of Usher’s “DJ Got Us Falling In Love”, that took First Place.   Though modern dance sometimes takes a back seat to Usher, the Just Dance Academy Girls cheered him on to his victory!  The girls in whole were very excited and cherish their second place ranking.
