from photographing high school dance teams in his Lakeville, Minnesota community to traveling to UDA nationals with some of the most talented collegiate dance teams.   What's been even more fun to see is Cobey's approach to his photography and business.  We've never interacted with a more humble and giving photographer, and his mission - to promote the sport of dance - comes through in so much of his work!  It's clear he has a passion to elevate the sport, and this passion fuels his photography.  We asked Minnesota local, to give us a little more insight into his passion for preserving these extraordinary moments, particularly when working with dancers.  Check out his answers and some of his work below!  [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/cobey-rouse-dance-photographer) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/cobey-rouse-dance-photographer#comments-listing) Topics: [High School](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/high-school), [Cheer, Pom & Gameday](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/cheer-pom-gameday), [Dance](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/dance), [Jazz, Lyrical, & Contemporary](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/jazz-lyrical-contemporary), [Planning Tips](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/planning-tips), [College](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/college), [Competition & Event Recaps](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/competition-event-recaps) ## [Season Recap: 2021 Minnesota High School Dance Teams](https://blog.thelineup.com/season-recap-2021-minnesota-state-dance-team) Posted by [Stephanie](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/stephanie) on Apr 13, 2021 -

From postponements to virtual competitions, this year brought many new challenges for competition. But it also brought us so much joy to see you work through the ups and downs to finally dance together again! It may not look the same, but the spirit and passion only dancers embody are still there!   We had the honor of working with so many local teams this year, helping routines come to life with outfits that embody each team's theme.  Check out some of the Minnesota teams we were lucky enough to help create their very own #LineUpLook.

From Bismarck's trend-setting Pom unitards to Valley City's Olympic-themed Kick costumes, we're always inspired by the ideas North Dakota teams bring to us year after year!
