DES All Star Teams have been very successful and have earned First Place rankings in Pom and Jazz, National Dance Team Championships at Walt Disney World in both Pom and Jazz, and a World Championship All Star Pom routine. For the past several years, at least one of our All Star teams has earned a First Place trophy at the Palace Pom Dance Classic and has been a showcased dance routine at Detroit Pistons pregame or halftime festivities.
This past January, three of our All Star teams took First Place and earned the honor to dance at a Detroit Pistons game.
Our Performing Company and All Star dancers are well represented at other dance venues as well. Many are members of their high school JV and Varsity dance teams. Our dancers have also been selected to dance with Junior Automotion, the Detroit Shockwave Dance Team, local productions of the Nutcracker Ballet and at the halftime production with the Goo-Goo Dolls at the 2007 Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day football game. They have been featured entertainment at local charity events at the Emerald Theatre’s Rock the Runway, GM Tech Center for the Juvenile Diabetes Walk, the Bath City Festival and at the Beaumont Hospital Employee Recognition Picnics. Three of our graduating seniors have been chosen to work for Universal Dance Association at their summer dance camps.
