(Aurora, Ind.) – Millions have visited but few can say they have danced on a Walt Disney World stage.

Roni’s Dance Studio in Aurora had 31 dancers perform at Disney World on June 18.

The dancers ranged from six to 20 years old, each earning their way on to the team through a tryout process.

The Disney Team’s routine was called “The Elements” and choreography expressed wind, water, fire and earth.  

In addition, the dancers participated in a private workshop where they were taught a routine they performed with legendary cartoon character Goofy.
