TEMECULA -- Dancers from Temecula Dance Company won the Sportsmanship Award among other honors at the recent Showbiz National Talent Competition in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The Sportsmanship Award is given to the studio that shows courtesy during the weeklong event as well as being encouraging and supportive of others.

Judges at the competition select Mister and Miss Showbiz winners in a number of categories based on the dancer's technique and showmanship.
