See JCSOD's Mini Company strut their stuff in this adorable and wildly

#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.

#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!
