Los Alamitos High School’s advanced dance team brought home a clutch of first place awards from its biggest competition of the year. Up against teams from around the world, the Los Alamitos dancers won four first place awards, as well as an award for best costuming at the K.A.R. Dance Competition in Redondo Beach, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious dance contests.
The advanced dancers will now move on to the national finals in July and received a special invitation to perform at the 2019 All Star Dancers Convention in New York, also in July.
“This is the first time the dance program has attended the KAR competition, but it is definitely our biggest so far,” said Los Alamitos High dance team coach Rikki Jones. “I was so proud of the professionalism and performance quality of our dancers. They have proven themselves to be artists of the highest degree.”
The Los Alamitos dancer are preparing an upcoming show called “One Day Closer,” April 11-13 at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center on campus. Ticket information can be found at https://lahs-dance.ticketleap.com/.
