Universal Performance
The Dancimation performing company from Miss Dee's School of Dance has just returned from their trip where they performed their hearts out at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida on June 17 2022. I can't say enough about this wonderful group of dancers. They performed with smiles brighter than the sun that was making the already warm day sizzle with temperatures over 90 deg. Their 30 min performance drew people passing by and shopping to fill the City Walk Lagoon stage viewing area. The crowd cheered for each of the dances and were ecstatic about the Academy of Wizardry finale production as well as the tap, lyrical, contemporary and hip hop dances they performed. Upon conclusion of the performance the Production Staff for the stage said that this was the one of the best performances they have had from any of the visiting groups that have performed this year! These dancers have worked so hard to do this performance of a lifetime and because of all the wonderful businesses and people who came out and supported them, they were able to make their dream come true. They would like to extend a special thank all of you. They made a mark on the performance world doing Greenville and the surrounding area proud. You will be able to see their performance at Danish Festival on Friday at 1:15 pm. Come see these dancers and others from our studio.
