An Important Photo Correction!

sadmblog — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:50:47 +0000

We were notified this week that our January blog post about last fall’s Southern Stars winners had an incorrect photo.

Mirror

The winner of Senior I Division Solo/Duet/Trio was correctly listed as “Mirror” (Ginny Mount School of Dance), but we had the wrong picture attached. Here’s the correct photo, which we received yesterday.

Congratulations to our talented winning dancer, and we apologize for the error. (The photo will also be corrected in the original post.)

Please remember – for privacy and safety reasons we don’t blog the names of the dancers themselves, but we do our best to help all our dancers and teachers receive the praise they deserve for a job well done. Let us know if you catch an error in any of our coverage, and we’ll do our best to correct it immediately.

Thanks!
