Mia Bella Academy <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dance</strong><br />
Palm Coast, Fl<br />
Mia Bella’s dancers brought home second<br />
national championship this month. In its inaugural<br />
year last year, Palm Coast’s Mia Bella<br />
<strong>Dance</strong> Academy sent seven dancers to the<br />
national Celebration Talent Competition in<br />
Gatlinburg, Tenn., last July, and came home<br />
with two awards: best choreography overall<br />
for Mia Bella founder Brie Valenti, and a 1st<br />
overall championship in the rising star category.<br />
This time around, the studio sent 20 dancers<br />
plus Valenti to Gatlinburg and brought<br />
home four awards: first, second and third<br />
place overall in the competition’s <strong>Dance</strong><br />
Showdown. Valenti again won the national<br />
choreography award, and individual students<br />
got soloist awards as well.<br />
