NAIDC 22 Podium
Murray Academy’s Podium Placers

Congratulations to our 42 dancers who traveled to Montreal to participate in the first North American Championships in three yearsโ€™ time!  We are incredibly proud of all our dancers, as they worked so hard to prepare and represented us so well. Our 10 new opens/first timers to this level of competition impressed us with their composure, many of whom were only 1-5 places out of recall. Overall, we had amazing results which only comes from teachers, trainers, parents and students all working together towards the same goalโ€”looking and dancing their best on the day!

HUGE congratulations goes to our winners, Brigid (U17B) and Brielle (U11B)โ€”it was thrilling to see each of them take the top of the podium! Special congratulations, also, to our two additional podium placers, Chloe Bosma (U14A) and Ava Krueger (U14B). Overall, we had 8 dancers in the top 10; 13 dancers qualified now for the 2023 World Championships (33%); and 30 dancers recalled (71%).
