ENFIELD: It was a successful VIEW DANCE Challenge for three local dance troupes from an Enfield-based dance company.
KARMA, Fusion, and Harmony dance troupes, all from RSI Danceworks in Enfield, returned from the five day competition with several overall and special awards. They also came home knowing they worked as a team, supporting one another in competition on and off the stage.
Besides the awards, there were many dancers that overcame nerves to step out on stage and perform before such large crowds, including their family.
