their flexibility, technique, and artistry never fails to impress us!  But we were a little thunderstruck last year when we heard that on of our models, Emy Urdahl was selected as Tremaine's 2021 Senior Dancer of the Year!  Emy just finished her senior year at [Dance Arts Centre](https://www.danceartscentre.net/) in Chanhassen, Minnesota, accomplished studio in our back yard that holds a special place in our hearts (it's home for our Choreographers, Pam and Mollie). We've been lucky enough to work with her for a few years.  She came to us through a [model call audition](https://www.thelineup.com/models), and actually started her first shoot with us as a last minute replacement - how lucky for us!  We chatted with Emy about her experience this year in the convention world, and what her plans are for the future.  Check out the Q & A below!    [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/dancer-spotlight-emy-urdahl-tremaine-dancer-of-the-year) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/dancer-spotlight-emy-urdahl-tremaine-dancer-of-the-year#comments-listing) Topics: [Dance Studio](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/dance-studio), [Dance Life](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/dance-life) ## [Team Spotlight: Dance Alley Studio - UDA World Senior Kick All Star Champs!](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-dance-alley-all-stars-uda-senior-kick-champs) Posted by [Allison](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/allison) on Mar 22, 2017 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Dance Alley Cats all star world champions](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/IMG_7230.jpg?width=790&name=IMG_7230.jpg "Dance Alley Cats all star world champions") **Team:** Dance Alley All Stars **Director/Head Coach:  **Bettina Rogers **Location:** London, KY **Style of Dance:** All Star Senior High Kick [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-dance-alley-all-stars-uda-senior-kick-champs) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-dance-alley-all-stars-uda-senior-kick-champs#comments-listing) Topics: [High Kick](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/high-kick), [Dance Studio](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/dance-studio) ## [Team Spotlight: The Best of Dance Arts Centre](https://blog.thelineup.com/customer-spotlight-the-best-of-dance-arts-centre) Posted by [Brooke](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/brooke) on Aug 2, 2016 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Dance Arts Centre](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/IMG_9152.jpg?width=790&name=IMG_9152.jpg "Dance Arts Centre") For fifteen plus years, [Dance Arts Centre](http://www.danceartscentre.net/) (DAC) has come to us to help design their elegant dance costumes for the competition stage.
