                       CONGRATULATING DANCE CITY

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the exceptional 
achievement of Dance City, a local dance team based in north 
Minneapolis, for their remarkable victory at Starpower National Talent 
Competition.
  The dedication, talent, and hard work demonstrated by the members of 
Dance City have propelled them to extraordinary success on the national 
stage, winning them first place in hip-hop, and first overall.
  Faced with competition from over 100 teams around the country, the 
Dance City girls rallied to the challenge and emerged with their well-
deserved victory.
  The director and coach of Dance City, Cierra Burnaugh, created her 
studio to serve young Black girls in the Minneapolis community. May 
their success continue to illuminate the path for future generations of 
dancers. I could not be happier to have Minneapolis represented by 
these bright young women.
