2006 AMERICAN SHOWSTOPPER EAST COAST CHAMPIONS - WATCH THE VIDEOS!

>> VIDEO #1 "HUGS & KISSES" (MINI GROUP CHAMPIONS)
See JCSOD's Mini Company strut their stuff in this adorable and wildly entertaining routine that captured the hearts of audiences and judges at The American Showstopper National Finals. The finals were held once again at one of the hottest summer vacation destinations — Myrtle Beech, South Carolina, USA

>> VIDEO #2 "KNOCK ON WOOD" (JUNIOR GROUP1st RUNNER UPS)
This Jazz number has it all AND also says it all! These talented young group of girls range between 7-9 yrs of age but don't let that fool you: – they bring precision, skill and sizzle. Their love for dance lights up both the stage and the judge's faces at this LIVE National Webcast Event.

VIDEO #3 "CAN"T GET ENOUGH!" (TEEN GROUP CHAMPIONS)
"Brilliant choregraphy, great staging and flawless performances" give this number a reason for the judges to call this a Showstopper! It will entertain and invigorate the sences. It's the third of JCSOD's competitive numbers that garnered a championship title by a panel of judges who are well known and respected coast to coast.

>> VIDEO #4 "THE PIANIST" (SENIOR GROUP CHAMPIONS)
Wow, what a Gem! This number is one of JCSOD's finest performances in 2006 and was selected from over 1500 Senior numbers to perform at the Semi-Finals and Final Webcast Show at the National American Showstopper Competition! The judges gave this number the highest score of the entire competition! What an achievement for our dancers!

 

Congratulations are also in order to all our WEST COAST DANCE EXPLOSION dancers who competed at the Nationals held at The Mirage, in Las Vegas this summer.
To ALL our JCSOD dancers and their families...WELCOME BACK!
