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: ###### Totino Grace- Jazz    ###### ###### South Saint Paul- Jazz   ###### ###### Prior Lake- Jazz   ###### ###### Mound Westonka- Jazz   ###### ###### Lakeville North- Jazz   ###### Spring Lake Park- Jazz   ###### ###### Henry Sibley- Jazz ###### ###### Faribault- Jazz   ###### ###### BOLD- Jazz       ###### St Cloud Cathedral- Jazz ###### St. Charles- Jazz   ###### Pelican Rapids- Jazz   ###### Lac Qui Parle- Jazz   ###### ###### ###### Duluth Denfeld- Jazz   ###### ###### Blaine- Jazz   ###### Congrats to Aitkin- Class A Jazz State Runner Up!   ###### Congrats to Totino Grace- Class AA Jazz State Champions!   High kick was just as entertaining as jazz!
