On Saturday Dec. 6, the Varsity Knightline squad participated in a dance competition held at Lindbergh High School against many schools around the area.
“It was our first competition of the year,” junior Ellen Ransom said. It was fun.”

The squad performed two dances at the competition. They received a fourth place honor for their jazz routine to “State of Shock” by Michael Jackson, and they received a third place honor for their hip hop routine that was choreographed by junior Rachel Hunt.
“I think we did good, but it wasn’t to our full potential,” junior Lauren Buxton said. “We can do better.”
Since they will be performing the same jazz routine when they head to Nationals in Disney World on Jan. 29, this competition allowed the girls to see their mistakes and work on the little things that make a big difference such as more difficulty, more floorwork, and more showmanship.
“The competition was a great learning experience on all levels for these girls,” Box said. “We were able to get an idea of any changes that may need to be made and they hopefully finally realized how important [showmanship] is.”
