LINX Company dancers win top awards at Starbound Competition

WELLESLEY, MA – March 6th - LINX Company Dancers returned to win top awards at the Starbound National Talent Competition, February 16th – 17th at East Greenwich High School, East Greenwich, RI. 5 to 18 year olds from approximately ten schools competed, some wearing orange ribbons on their jackets or on stage to honor the memory of a recent Florida school shooting victim who had danced in past Starbound competitions.

“The girls wanted to honor her memory. It was inspiring for the dancers to be a part of the larger dance community coming together at this event,” said LINX Dance Director Heather Emley.

Emley said the dancers performed very well and she is proud of their placements and accomplishments at the competition. LINX placed 1st for Top Teen Elite Soloists, Top Senior Competitive Soloist, and Top Junior Petite Competitive Duet/Trio. The dancers also placed 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 10th for top Junior Elite Soloists, and 5th for Top Senior Elite Soloists. The competition provided the dancers, age 7 to 16, with an opportunity to perform for a judging panel before larger competitions later in the spring.

The main office is located at 141 Linden Street in Wellesley, MA. For more information about LINX Dance Studio, visit http://www.linxdance.com or call 781-235-3210.
