Congratulations to Kim DelGrosso and co-owners Alex and Robin Murillo, whose studio, Center Stage Performing Arts Studio in Orem, Utah, was named Studio of the Year at last night’s second annual Dance Awards!

Gil Stroming and Ray Leeper produce the event to honor excellence in competetive dance. Awards are given for outstanding dancers and choreographers, with the Studio of the Year Award to top it all off. DelGrosso cried when she received the award, which comes with a $25,000 cash prize(!), and the crowd gave her a standing ovation.

We featured Center Stage on our April cover this year, because we knew they were up to great things! Check out what makes Center Stage special in Where Ballet Meets Ballroom, and join us in congratulating Kim DelGrosso and her studio for their well-earned honor.
