Five young dancers recently represented Thunder Bay and Canada proudly in Wisconsin Dells at the Celebration Talent’s National Dance Competition. 

Members of Dance Dynamics Studio, Sierra Erickson (7), Isabella Jedruch (8), Sadie Cameron (8), Chynna Erickson (9), and Jade Erickson (11) previously qualified for the finals at competitions in Duluth and Minneapolis.  In conjunction with the competition the girls took part in workshops, auditions and a production number.   The girls were divided into two categories; dancers who train 5 hours a week or less (Rising Stars) and dancers who train more (Shining Stars) and then further divided by age categories. During the workshop the girls were evaluated not only on skill but also commitment, showmanship and sportsmanship.  They then were selected to compete for additional titles above and beyond the routines that had qualified them to be there.   Below is a list of how the girls placed.
