2022-2023 Awards

At Happendance, awards and placements are not our top concern. We value work ethic, the willingness to improve by taking responsibility for one's performance, and the hard work that goes into EARNING a placement or top award.

“I am proud of the dancers for putting themselves out there and on stage. Awards are an additive, not a priority.”—Jennah Quinn Gray (Accelerant Director)
