Dancers from the Connelly Dance Centers of Rockaway Park and Richmond Hill rocked their way to top awards at the New York Dance Festivals this spring. Director Ellen Connelly remarked, "our students outdid themselves, they exceeded their teachers expectations. Watching our students improve from each competition fills us with pride and makes all the hard work worthwhile."

First place winners included "Insane" (lyrical), "Thriller" (MTV jazz), "Wouldn’t It Be Loverly" (ballet), "We’re In The Money" (Top Tap Score and Top Group Champion), Christina’s Jump Off (Christina Ramos, Runner-up Senior Champion), "Reggae Mix" (Emma Wolfe, junior champion), "Crazy" (Top Score and Best Costume).
