The Mount Pleasant Junior High School Advanced Dance Team (ADT) attended the HTEDance Texas State Dance Team Championship at Northwest High School in Justin on Saturday, March 2. The team performed a novelty, a hip hop and a pom routine.
ADT was named the overall Middle School/Junior High Team Division Champions. They also earned Middle School Team Champions awards in the Hip Hop, Novelty, and Pom categories. In addition, they earned Judge’s awards for Showmanship, Entertainment, Technique, and Choreography as well as a Super Sweepstakes (95 and above all on three routines).
Finally, ADT was honored with the Espirit D’ Corps award, given to only one team at the entire competition. This award is given by the judges when they recognize that a specific team “brought the house down” with applause.
“Our team motto leading up to Competition has been ‘Make It Count’ and on Competition day everything came full circle and we ‘Made it Count’,” said ADT Director Erica Davidson Curley. “I truly love my babies as if they were my very own children! All of their hard work and dedication paid off. During awards I sat there in complete shock and my eyes filled with tears thinking of all the hours of practice, the yelling, the bruises, the overnight practices till 8:30 am and the LOVE these girls have for this team and for each other. I said it from day one and I’ll say it again, this team has something special! I’m so glad everyone got to see it at competition.”
