Haven Performing Arts Dance and Twirl teams traveled recently to Lake Lehman High School for their sixth competition of the Indoor Season. To say this weekend was a huge success is an understatement. All teams came home with a first place win. Not only did they come home with the wins, the teams were also featured on a WNEP News Story that was bringing awareness to what Indoor Performing Arts is all about.

Another highlight of the weekend was the Independent Novice Dance Team was promoted in ranks to Independent Regional A Dance Team. This means that the TIA judges feel that the dancers will be able to compete at a higher level. The team is led by coaches Rachel Hanley, Megan Marino and Erin Hearn. The dance this year is set in a park and they perform a dance to the song "A Symptom of Being Human" by Shinedown.

Coach Rachel stated, "Getting to the point of a promotion was a walk in the park! Holding our own in this next division is going to be tough, but if these 13 beautiful dancers keep up the hard work and dedication, I know they will be successful in competitions to come!"

Coach Megan said, "The dedication, passion and talent of these girls has not gone unnoticed. Week after week they show so much growth and it was recognized. Now we have to grow some more and fight a little harder. This hasn't been done before in the history of Haven, and to be able to be a part of this experience is truly amazing. We are so proud of these girls. There is such a bright future ahead for all of them!"

"These girls have worked extremely hard this season! Week by week they grow and prove what amazing dancers they are. This next chapter for them will challenge them, but as their coach I know they will achieve greatness. We are extremely proud of how far they have come and this promotion proves just that!" adds Coach Erin.

The next competition Haven Performing Arts will be attending is at BEA on April. For more information about the program, please visit their Facebook Page Haven Performing Arts.
