Competition Recap: 2016 Minnesota State Dance Team Tournament!

Written by Pam | Feb 16, 2016

 

 

This past weekend, dance teams from across Minnesota came together at the Target Center in Minneapolis, ready to compete in the Minnesota State High School League (MHDSL) Dance Team championship! On Friday, 36 high school teams competed in the jazz category, and the following day 36 teams (some the same, some new!) were ready to take on the high kick category. We are so proud of our many customers that competed this weekend at State!

Jazz was loaded with gorgeous costumes, innovative routines, and performances that captured the crowd. One trend we noticed: all shades of PURPLE- dark, light and everything in between! Everyone looked fabulous on the floor - check out some photos of our customers in action on Friday:

High kick was just as entertaining as jazz! We loved all the different themes brought to life with music, choreography, and, of course, costumes! We only see one side of this package here in the office - the costume - and its always awesome to see how you guys can completely transform your look with a few accessories, facial expressions, makeup, and choreography!
