Twenty-six teams took the floor for the Preliminary competition in the Senior Small Jazz division at The 2019 Dance Worlds. Jazz can tend to be one of the broader dance styles, which allows for a wide range of interpretations. This division featured all sorts of varying speeds, levels of drama, and completely different emotional tones. When all was said and done, every emotion under the sun had been felt, and these 26 teams each had their chance to leave an impression. 

The strongest impression of the day was felt by Dance Mania, who heads into Finals in first place. Their presence forces you to not take your eyes off of them from the moment they walk onto the floor. Even before the music began, they commanded your attention, and refused to let it go anywhere else. Their stunning uniforms accented their flawless lines, and their eye contact let everyone know that they were here for business. To call them warrior princesses is doing them an injustice, because it is not a fierce enough title. They will be out to defend their top spot in Finals, and there’s no doubt that they’ll fight anyone who tries to take it from them.

This is a routine you have to see to believe:
