The dance team goes to UDA camp to qualify for UDA nationals.
On July 13-16 2018 we went to St. Paul Minnesota to attend a UDA camp at the convention center. At the camp we each learned two competitive dances in three. We also took master classes, technique classes, and worked to memorize each dance that we learned during our down time. At the end of the weekend, each dancer performed their dances in front of judges along with the other girls that learned the dance. Everybody on the team got a blue ribbon for each routine and we qualified for nationals. -
Choreography camps
During August, the varsity team learned our pom and kick routines. Our pom routine was choreographed by Jordan Jost and our kick routine was choreographed by Sasah Steichen. We spent two days per dance learning and memorizing them. We learned Jazz and Hip Hop on separate weekends and they were made by our coach Megan Gilbertson. -
Fargo North Competition
We went to Fargo North on December first to compete against a mix of western and eastern teams. Here, for the first time ever, we placed first in the pom category. We also placed third in jazz and kick. We did not take with our hip hop dance because we had not finished it. -
