Bloomfield HS won in the “Best Dance” category.

Sixteen schools participated. There was not a single deduction the entire evening. Deductions are generally for dangerous or unsafe movements.

The event was renamed this year in honor of Centinaro, the Bloomfield High School athletics administrative assistant who died of cancer in March. Centinaro was the supervisor of the event, which involves schools in the Super Essex Conference which brings awareness to breast cancer. The event has raised more than $80,000 over the years. Proceeds go toward cancer research and other charities.
