Slideshow 17 extra notes

slide 1: Minooka

These smart dancers want to see the video ASAP after taking 1st against some tough competition at Huntley on January 6th.

slide 2: Glenbard West

The Hilltoppers Varsity and JV dancers teamed up for their hip hop homecoming routine. On a beautiful and mild October Saturday, I got to hang out with this outstanding team plus I watched their elite football team in action.

slide 3: Fremd

They were well on their way toward a Day 2 kind of season, but back in November, the Fremd dancers got to celebrate a good day on their home floor.

slide 4: Yorkville

It was kick line time for the Foxettes in the middle of their pom home routine at UDA camp in Wheaton last summer.

slide 5: Woodstock North

Coach Never had her athletes performing well at the 1A Huntley sectionals on January 19th.

slide 6: Batavia competition

Coach Fuqua and her volunteers set up a sweet photo opp alongside these trophies for their December 1st competition.

slide 7: Crystal Lake Central

It was still November, so I’m cool with this not totally synchronized moment. But still, the CLC Tiger Dance Team definitely showed off their tilt talents.

slide 8: West Chicago

Back in May I stumbled on the team at their Chipotle fundraiser in Wheaton!

slide 9: Naperville Central

The Arrowettes danced beautifully all season led by scintillating seniors up front. This clip is from their last dance before sectionals (Grayslake Central, 1/13).

slide 10: Thornton Fractional South

The TF South dancers caught my attention at UDA camp last July.

slide 11: Mahomet-Seymour

One of east-central Illinois’ elite teams, the M-S dancers took home a 1st at Minooka’s December competition. This proudly-taken pic comes from Mahomet-Seymour dance alum and 8CA staffer Malea!

slide 12: Belleville East

December was shaky but January opened up bright for the BETHS Lancer Dancers at the IDTA/IHSA Edwardsville comp on January 5th. I’ll always remember the long lines this team presented at every comp all season.
