This year’s Massive Spectacular was a stunning show of
performance, skill, and artistic vision. The costumes, the
music, and dances came together perfectly on this night of
artistic celebration. Quality had the rare pleasure of melding
with quantity throughout the show!
Brenna brought a lot of emotion and nostalgia to her
performance done to Michael Jackson’s iconic song

isolations, and shiny hammer pants, this Brooklynite
truly brought her beautiful narrative dance style to
the Spectacular stage. Her poignant choreography was
emotional and left me wanting more.
My favorite had to be Heather LaBonte. With her fluidity
and grace of movement, Heather truly mesmerized me
with her performance. Her moves were clean and precisely
