Gold Coast Arts, a not-for-profit multi-arts organization dedicated to promoting the arts through education, exhibition, performance, and outreach, hosted a live trophy ceremony for their winning competition dance team.
The Gold Coast School For The Arts was thrilled to recognize their 2020 trophy recipients for outstanding achievement in dance.
On June 20, dancers, faculty, and staff came together on a bright and sunny Saturday morning to celebrate the dance team by presenting trophies to five, seven, and ten-year recipients, as well as to the accomplished 2019 – 2020 Dance Competition Team.
This was the first time since the pandemic started that these talented students were able to see each other in person outside the Gold Coast Arts Center.
With social distancing in place, students cheered each other on as they accepted their well-deserved trophies presented to them by Ms. Megan, dance director with Gold Coast Arts.
“It was so great seeing all of my students again in person. I miss them terribly”, she said.
Ellen Schiff, school director, states that “this was one of the most rewarding days I have had since the pandemic began!”
