The National Society of Arts and Letters’ Florida East Coast Chapter showcased the talents of an array of young dancers from South Florida. Judges included Clarence Brooks, Shimon Ito and Colleen Smith. First prize was awarded to Gabriella Garbarini, a 17-year-old student at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, who will advance to the national competition and vie for a $12,000 prize. ‘This is a very challenging competition, judged on three elements including classwork, classical dance and contemporary dance,’ event Co-Chairwoman Shari Upbin said. ‘Gabriella truly excelled in all categories.’
