Treasure Coast High Junior Snags Dance Scholarships at Regional Festival

Treasure Coast High School's Dance Repertory Company returned from Norfolk, Virginia, last week with scholarship recognition for junior Cadence Franklin after competing at the 15th annual Regional High School Dance Festival.

Franklin earned scholarships from two institutions — Converse University in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts — after standing out among dancers from 62 schools across 19 states. Nearly 1,200 students participated in the weeklong festival, attending classes taught by instructors from high schools, conservatories, colleges, and universities across the country.

The Titans' dancers were praised for their commitment, creativity, and willingness to learn throughout the event, drawing positive feedback from faculty and evaluators. Franklin's dual recognition marked the program's most notable individual achievement of the trip.

The festival brings together some of the top high school dance programs in the country each year, giving students direct exposure to collegiate-level instruction and the opportunity to be seen by university recruiters. For a St. Lucie County program to send a student home with scholarship offers from two schools speaks to the level of training inside the Titans' studio.
