Amy’s School of Dance’s jazz dance, “Let’s Be Bad,” won first place in the gala. There is a separate grand championship for lines and productions. Their production won first place in the Recreational Line Grand Championship.

This ended a season which included many accomplishments. They started the season in Montgomery at the Platinum Dance Competition where their production won the Platinum Power Award.

In addition to the Platinum Power Award they won first place junior line, first place teen line, and first place teen large group.

When they returned to Montgomery in April for the Fusion National Dance Competition, their production won first overall teen production and received the Top Score Star Award for having the highest score out the entire recreational level of approximately 170 routines.
