Ballroom dance students will compete for individual and studio titles in April.
Dancers from Northbrook, Glenview and other surrounding suburbs will put their skills to the test this month at a national dance competition. Nine students at Fred Astaire Dance Studio will travel to Las Vegas in mid-April to compete in the Cross Country Dance Championship.
