Seven dancers who train at the Dans\u2019Atout<\/i> Studio (http:\/\/www.dansatout.com\/<\/a>)\u00a0in LaSalle will take part in the Dance World Cup to take place in Montreal later this year. Four of the girls live in Verdun; three live in LaSalle.<\/p>\n

They qualified during the Showtime Competition in Mont-Tremblant last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous because it was my first solo that I was doing in competition,\u201d said Alexandra Pileggi, whose Jazz performance won second prize. \u201cThe environment of the competition was really comfortable. They would scream for everyone. They cheered for everyone. During the awards, everyone would clap for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The competition venue at the Fairmont Mont-Tremblant was unusual too, said Jessica Dupont-Roux, whose contemporary solo also garnered an invitation to the World Cup. \u201cWe\u2019re used to dancing on floors, but not during a competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pileggi and Dupont-Roux are also part of the seven-person senior team that won the group dance with Cristin Bleau,\u00a0 Harmany Giubilei-Westcott, Kelsey Devaney, Manuela Bertolotto and Sarah Chikh. They\u2019ll perform as a group at the World Cup too.<\/p>\n

The two three-person junior teams also did well, placing second and third in their age categories, even though this was their first year competing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really great feeling because you\u2019re really nervous at first, but I guess that once you begin performing that disappears,\u201d said Madison Soso, who collected the trophy for her second-place team. \u201cIt\u2019s a really good experience. We\u2019re always in the studio and it\u2019s great to get out. We practiced for months. It made the journey much more fun because we\u2019re friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locals got to enjoy all the top-rated performers during Dans\u2019Atout\u2019s<\/i> end-of-year show last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Volunteers and parents who such success possible will be treated to a barbecue in the dance studio parking lot on June 1.<\/p>\n

The 6th<\/sup> Annual World Cup will attract 2,000 dancers from around the world to the Outremont Theatre from July 8 to 10. For more information, check out the website www.danceworldcup.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
