Loralee’s Dance Studio 2010 National Dance Champions


Loralee’s Dance Studio of 566 Wilbur Ave, Swansea, is proud to announce that they have recently won the 2010 National Dance Championships!

With owner, Loralee Levesque, and instructor, Jennifer Jones, leading their talented troop, 24 students entered the fierce competition. These local students include Nicole Chagnon, Samantha Costa, Alex Cruz, Shannon DeGrazia, Jenna DeMoranville, Rachelle Dubois, Lauren Dunn, Scarlett Huck, Tyler Indyck, Abbey Levesque, Deanna Lopes, Lauren Panchley, Kelsey Parent, Emily Pavao, Alison Provost, Lauren Provost, Hailey Roderiques, Alexis-Ann Saucier, Kelsie Springer, Chelsea Thiboutot, Mikaela Thiboutot, Renee Thiboutot, Haley Tucker, and Lindsay Velozo.

Loralee explains, “On April 24th, our kids performed in Taunton, MA at the Step Up To Dance Tour, and won the regional competition. A few weeks later, on May 8th, they performed in Fitchburg, MA, winning a second Step Up To Dance Tour regional competition. Both of these regional wins placed them for the Nationals to be hosted in Manchester, N.H. in July. I couldn’t have been more proud of each of them for all of the hard work!”
On Friday, July 16th, Loralee’s Dance Studio entered the National Dance Competition. They performed three routines, winning within their respective categories. Out of 95 routines performed for the day, they won first place – over all – taking down the highest score. The following day, Loralee's students performed four routines and again, won each of them within their respective categories. Out of 129 routines performed for the day, they took 1st place, 3rd, 4th and 8th—an amazing feat!

Loralee adds, “Our students entered seven routines and took home 1st place in all categories they entered—just incredible! They won five Platinum Awards and two High Platinum Awards…one in the Duet/Student Choreography category, two in the Class category (18 or more dancers), and four in the Group category (4-8 Dancers).”

Besides some serious bragging rights, all of the dance students received trophies, as well as scholarships.
