Fuquay-Varina Arts Center Dance Team Honored for Award-Winning Season
Team earned 104 awards over the course of four major competitions.
Fuquay-Varina, NC, Jun. 13, 2025 — During its June 2 meeting, the Fuquay-Varina Board of Commissioners formally recognized the Fuquay-Varina Arts Center Dance Team for its extraordinary accomplishments in just its second competitive season. The team, which trains at the town-operated Arts Center, earned 104 awards over the course of four major competitions — a milestone that reflects both the dancers’ technical talent and their collaborative spirit.
Following the spring 2024 auditions, dancers began with a week-long choreography camp. They trained regularly under the guidance of head coaches Ashley Avent and Jordyn Davis, along with assistant coaches Cora Vick and Tami Davis. Routines were developed in collaboration with eight different choreographers, leading to competitive appearances at Primetime, StarQuest, Showstopper, and Adrenaline.
Among their many honors, two studio-level awards stood out for their deeper significance to the team and community:
At StarQuest, the team received the Studio Award for Infectious Energy, a recognition often reserved for groups whose enthusiasm, unity, and spirit uplift the entire competition.
At Adrenaline, the team was honored with the Studio Award for Sportsmanship, highlighting their professionalism, respect for others, and support for fellow competitors.
These awards go beyond technique, showcasing the character and camaraderie the team exhibits both on and off the stage. Accordingly, the dancers have become excellent ambassadors for Fuquay-Varina, and their recognition in categories like sportsmanship and energy reflects the core values of the program.
