This year, the studio is honouring the great legacy of their “studio mom” and biggest fan, Darlene Sloan, who passed away in 2018, by accepting donations of new, unused school supplies for students in need. Bins will be set up in the lobby of the Tidemark Theatre. Take this opportunity to make a donation for a student in need while enjoying a night of great dance entertainment.

The Tidemark shows cap off a great year for CR DanceXtreme. Their Showteam, Fresh Groove Hiphop Team, Performance Team, Rising Stars, and Advanced Adult Hip Hop represented Campbell River by competing at three dance competitions on Vancouver Island and two on the mainland. At two competitions, they won the most prestigious award of Top Overall Studio for having the highest studio average score.
