During the Spring season, dancers seem to never stop and are as busy as ever. The majority of dance studios are rehearsing for their Spring or Summer recitals. This sometimes means rehearsals will run nightly until the recital date. Along with recital practice, competition season is still going strong. One studio in particular in the Greeley area is The Dance Factory. This upcoming weekend of March 2^nd-4^th they have a competition they’re attending called Starquest. The competition will take place in Thornton at Horizon High School. Not only are they spending three days at the competition, the night before they leave, there’s a mandatory competition rehearsal that takes at least a couple of hours. The competition groups include: Jr. Company, Starbound, Rising Stars, Shooting Stars, Sr. and Jr. Hip Hop Crews. Each of them will have a chance to compete in their division this weekend. Competitions tend to be much more stressful than recitals because of the fact that there’s a winner and a loser, and every studio wants to hold the trophy that states them as the winners.

Also this upcoming weekend, on March 3^rd, the annual event of “Day of Dance” is being presented by The Spirit of Women organization at the Greeley Family Fun Plex. This is a fun opportunity for dancers and community members to go and get educated about the health benefits of dancing. A handful of studios from the Greeley area and other dance groups will be performing at the event. This is an enjoyable occasion where people can go have fun and see how dancing can help improve heart health and altogether fitness.  This upcoming weekend is full of events for dancers and proves that a dancer never really has time to stop, they just keep doing what they do best, and that’s dancing.
