The Rise dance company presented its spring showcase Sunday afternoon, with dancers ages five to 17 leaping and tapping across the stage of the Oak Bluffs School. Young performers stole the show with big smiles in their Car Wash number, but the afternoon belonged to the older company dancers, who devote their hours to learning complex and intricate choreography for competition. The competitions take place throughout the year: the group traveled to the American Dance Awards regional competition in Lowell two weeks ago and will next go to Reading, Mass.
