Our Champions

Olivia has danced since the age of 3.  Along the way she has tried many different sports and activities.  

Two years ago she decided that dance was her true passion and committed to only dance and doing it competitively.  

She has been at Center Stage Dance Academy ever since.  

She dances in the areas of tap, jazz, and lyrical and loves every minute of it.  Dancing is her safe and happy place.

Olivia's mom is currently 3C's VP of Finance.

My name is Makayla McNamara. I have been a competitive all star cheerleader since I was 3 years old! I have decided to take a year off from cheerleading, but venturing out into new avenues like volleyball, track and dance. I know that whichever sport I decides to pursue next 3C will be there to support me. 

I love spending time with my friends and being able to hang out with them. I especially love my baby brother, Gregory! He is so much fun to have around. 

My name is Roland Martinez. I recently started volunteering with 3C and have volunteered at Greensboro Coliseum, LJVM Coliseum, Bank of America Stadium, and Wake Forest's Allegacy Stadium.  I  LOVE to dance at Academy of Dance and Fine Arts in Mooresville, NC, which is a 2 hour commute from our home.  This year, I  have returned to dancing and competing in all styles.  Modern, contemporary, and hip hop are his favorite styles.  I have been dancing since age 4 1/2.  When I'm not dancing I love spending time with my dogs, my family and my friends.  I also love basketball. 

Rose began dancing at the age of 2 and began competition at the age of 4.  She is now 16 years old and is a member of the competitive company at Julie's Fancy Feet in York, SC. 

She is currently entering the 11th grade and is a member of the marching band as a colorguard member. 

She loves all forms of dance and just started pointe.  

In her spare time, she loves helping rescued animals, painting and reading! 

One day she hopes to work  in a career with young children in psychology .

Rose's mom serves on 3C's Advisory Committee.

My name is Michaela.  When I turned 2, I started dance and have never stopped!  I found my love for dance at an early age, and I never want to stop!  

I dance at We're Dancin with my friends and teammates.  When I am not at the studio dancing or assisting with the younger generation, you will find me at Starbucks or sitting poolside with my friends.

When I graduate, I want to continue to dance professionally.  I never want to stop learning!

My name is Kayden. I have been dancing since I turned 3 years old. I never stop- I dance at home and in the grocery store - my life is dance!

I love animals and my big sister. My sister has special needs and inspires me every day. She is so brave and has been through so much. When I grow up I want to be a pediatric ICU nurse. I want to help babies and encourage their families through difficult times.

My favorite hobbies are dance, going to the beach, spending time with my family.

I love Starbucks, Ulta and Sephora. I’m obsessed with skin care products and Aerie leggings. When my mom started volunteering with 3C it allowed me to do more at dance and more competitions. I’m also doing my first solo this year !!! My dance friends and teachers are the best and I love that I found them at ON Stage School of Dance. 

Hi! My name is Londyn Imes. I have been dancing for 10 years, 7 years as a competitive dancer. 

I am a part of the competition team at Dancers Edge in Winston Salem, NC. My favorite style is hip hop, but I love all types of dance. I plan to dance until I graduate high school. 

In my free time I love to take photos and be in musicals and plays. 

Peyton is a Senior in High School and plays travel softball. She has been playing softball since 2012. 

After graduation she plans to continue playing softball and majoring in Sports Exercise. 

When not playing softball she enjoys hanging out with her friends.

Graham Robinson is a 15 year old competitive dancer with  Dancers Edge. He has been dancing since the fall of 2016. He enjoys all forms of dance but Hip Hop is his favorite. 

When he is not dancing he enjoys playing video games and hanging out with his friends. 

Hi, my name is Kynlee. 

I began taking dance  at Heart and Rhythm Dance Studio when I was 3.  It has been my favorite thing to do ever since then. After 2 years of recreational dance I joined the competition team. This is my 4th year of competitive dance and my 2nd year doing a solo dance. I love learning new dances with all my friends at the studio.  

Although I love all dances my favorites are lyrical and jazz. This year I am doing four group dances and my solo. 

When I’m not at the studio I enjoy amusement parks, outings with my dance friends, art, and Roblox. 

 When I grow up I want to be a dance teacher. I know dance is expensive with traveling and costumes, I am glad that we found scholarship opportunities with 3C Champions so that I can do more dances in the future.
