This distinguished performance award honors the legacy of Miss Rochelle Gartner—a passionate artist, devoted teacher, and radiant soul who inspired generations of dancers with her unwavering belief in the magic of performance.
The Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award is presented to the dancer who truly embodies the essence of what Miss Rochelle lived, shared, and instilled in every student she mentored. We seek the dancer who lit up the stage from start to finish—the one who dazzled us with their smile, moved us with their energy, and captivated us with their spark.
This performer radiates passion, commitment, and an unyielding dedication to the art of dance. With precision, strength, refined technique, and a fearless “leave it all on the floor” attitude, they remind us of the power of presence and performance.
This is more than an award—it’s a tribute. A celebration of the light Miss Rochelle brought into the dance world, and a recognition of the dancer who carries that light forward.

THE Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award
We are deeply honoured to present The Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award at Excel Dance Experience, given in loving memory of Miss Rochelle Gartner, a passionate artist, devoted teacher, and radiant soul who believed in the transformative power of performance.
Miss Rochelle was the first to open a door for Excel Director Gretta Brienco, offering her very first dance teaching opportunity. Her guidance didn't just shape a career - it helped shape a community. Her spirit lives in every dancer who dares to shine boldly, teach selflessly and perform wholeheartedly.
The Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award is presented to the dancer who embodies everything Miss Rochelle stood for: vibrant energy, refined technique, fearless presence, and magnetic joy that radiates far beyond the spotlight. This dancer doesn't just execute steps - they move hearts, elevate the space around them, and leave every ounce of themselves on the dance floor.
The award is far more than a scholarship. It's a tribute.
We cannot wait to see who will be given The Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award at the next Excel Dance Experience.
Drum roll please....
The Miss Rochelle Gartner STAR POWER Award
Miss Rochelle's legacy is to
inspire our dancers, teachers,
and leaders of tomorrow.
