FREEHOLD – Dancers representing the Gallery of Dance, Throckmorton Street, participated in the 2016 season finale of Lifetime’s “Dance Moms.” The girls showcased two numbers at the Starbound competition at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park on Dec. 11.
The Gallery of Dance students went up against the well known dance studios of the Abby Lee Miller Dance Company and their rivals, Candy Apples Dance Center, among others, according to a press release from Gallery of Dance.
The choreography was created by one of the newest teachers at the Gallery of Dance, Amy Cowley, and executed by the Dazzler Dancers: Rachel Falcone, Isabella Federico, Charlotte Fucarino, Caitlin Holley, Mackenzie Katz, Michelle Lobocchiaro, Grace McCool, Sofia Murray, Julianna Powers, Ashley Rodriguez, Grace Tempest, Rebecca Tobenkin and Brooke Zolezi.
“The excitement and camaraderie felt throughout the Gallery of Dance studio is amazing,” owner Karen Dolan said.
According to the press release, Dolan teaches her students the importance of giving back to the community which is why she was so excited to bring her dancers to the Starbound national dance competition, which sent its proceeds from the day to the Dancer Care Cancer foundation.
