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!

Last weekend, our CM Collective Team traveled to NYC! These dancers had the amazing experience of dancing with Project Dance NYC... which means they got to dance IN Times Square! What a special memory for these dancers to have! Throughout the weekend, our CM Collective dancers joined dozens of other dancers in learning choreography, performing in Times Square, and even taking master classes at Ballet Hispanico. Through this experience of a lifetime, these dancers made new friends, learned valuable skills and technique to add to their repertoire, and showcased a few elements of their 2025-2026 Production: Once Upon a Screen right in the middle of Times Square! We are so proud of our CM Collective, who took their skills to the Big Apple during their inaugural season - we can't wait to see what's next!
Our CM Dance Company took the stage at NexStar on 4/18/26 and 4/19/26, and they absolutely SHINED up on that stage!! A few of our company dancers took their solos and a duo, which have been cleaned and polished all season, and SHOWED UP last weekend! We are SO proud of your hard work, and we can't wait to see the great things you accomplish the remainder of the season and beyond!
