On March 3, the Dance Workshop competition team competed at the Starbound Regional Dance Competition in Indianapolis and enjoyed a successful first outing of their season. As a studio, Dance Workshop was awarded seven high gold and six gold awards for their routines as well as special individual and group recognition.
Chloe Watkins was named the Top Petite Soloist on the day for her routine “Rock You”. This is the third year for Watkins to be named the Top Petite Soloist for the Indianapolis Starbound Regional. She also was awarded high gold for her dance “Blame it on the Beat”.
Chloe Gardner was also honored with a special judges award for “Great Grape Vines” and earned a high gold for her routine entitled “Bring the House Down”. Stella Knipp was awarded a high gold award for her dance “I Can Only Imagine”.
