Winners' testimonials
"For me, this international was a new challenge. We had to fight against fatigue to give the best of ourselves, but we did it! We managed to unite as a team and know how to connect in that we all wanted the same thing... to win!" - Adriana Machuca / dancer
"I am proud of what we achieved because for me this competition implied commitment, effort and dedication from all of us who are part of this team." - Goretti Vela/ dancer
"At the beginning of this journey, it led me to practice faith and patience, to understand that God is bigger than everything and places us exactly where, when and with whom we should be. Not only that, but it also led me to surrender. To give my team that last effort, that last word of encouragement, that last repetition and that last smile. And that's the best gift we could give to ourselves and to God." -Ashley Quezada/ dancer
