Diane's Dance Academy 23 dancers dazzle residents of Jefferson Chase

JEFFERSON — The competition team dancers of Diane's Dance Academy 23 of Newfoundland performed for senior citizen residents of Jefferson Chase in Jefferson on Jan. 26.

Particularly thrilled were the grandparents of Katie Stoppiello, 15, of Oak Ridge who reside at Jefferson Chase. They and their neighbors were so happy to see their granddaughter and her teammates perform their competition dances.

The residents of Jefferson Chase look forward to the dancers yearly performances and have already requested a return visit for next year.

The dancers are about to start their competition season with the soloists, duo and trio dancers performing at Starbound in Paramus in February. The other competitions will take place throughout the rest of the winter, spring and summer in Sparta and Somerset, and finally at the Beyond The Stars National Competition in Atlantic City in July.
