Attending their second comptetion of the year, students at Euphoria Dance Center earned several first overall in category awards in all three divisions of the Starpower International Dance Competition held March 13-15 at Century II, Mary Jane Teall Theater in Wichita.  
“The dancers performed brilliantly,” Lindsey Feil, owner of EDC, said.  
Beginning dancers with little or no competition expereince competed at the Star level.  They are considered ‘novice’ dancers only up to two years.  Fro those with two to five years expereince, intermediat or “on the rise” dancers competed at the All Star Division.  For those that have dedicated themselves to acheiving advanced technical level, competition in the Power Level is the next step.  Only top=level competitive dancers qualify for these spots.
