About Us
We are a MSHSL competitive AAA dance team contending in Section 2, competing in Jazz and High Kick. Our team has been dancing since the 1970’s, but was refounded three years ago, under the direction of Southwest Athletics. The team is led by Coach Jennifer Gottschalk, who danced with the Totino Grace Egals Dance Team from Fridley, MN, and by Coach Alaina Abraham, who danced with the St. Francis Dance Team from St Francis, MN.
What is a Dance Team?
