CM Dance KAR Awards
4838 Southpoint Pkwy, Fredericksburg, VA, United States
Kids Artistic Revue (KAR) was our final dance competition of our 2023-2024 dance season!
Our competition dance season is officially over, and we are eagerly preparing for the 2024-2025 dance season with auditions scheduled for May 18th, 2024. We hope to see you there!
This season our dancers collectively participated in eight competitions in the Fredericksburg region (and beyond), and also had the opportunity to perform some of their pieces in local art festivals. We are eternally grateful for all your support this dance season and cannot wait to see what is in store for the next. Whether you made sure a dancer was ready to go on stage, drove or carried in props, brought snacks, cheered at the competition or while watching the livestream, helped fix costumes, ran home to retrieve forgotten items, let someone borrow a team jacket, carried the big heads, purchased from a fundraiser, or simply just shared a post on social media, it inspired each dancer to bring the artistry to life and it made all the difference. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you!
Now keep reading to see all the amazing awards the CM Dance Team earned at KAR!
