Dazzlers dance team
Granite Ridge Conference
BY BRENDAN POTTER
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Dazzlers dance team
hosted the Granite Ridge
dance team conference at the
Becker High School Thurs-
EOE/ADA
day, Dec. 21. Teams from Al-
bany, Becker, Foley, St Cloud
Cathedral and Zimmerman
competed in this conference.
"Overall the Becker
Dance Team had a great night,
with all four teams placing,"
said Coach Baloun.
JV jazz, JV kick and Var-
sity kick all placed second be-
hind St Cloud Cathedral and
Varsity Jazz placed third be-
hind Zimmerman in second,
and St Cloud Cathedral in
first.
"We don't get many op-
portunities to compete at
home, so this was a lot of fun
for us. The crowd was very
supportive and all our teams
performed well," said Coach
Fischer Danzeisen.
"It takes a lot of volun-
teers to pull off an event like
this. Our parents and family
members really pulled to-
gether to keep things running
smoothly. We couldn't have
done it without them," added
Baloun.
"While it was a lot of fun
and we felt pretty succesful at
our home Conference meet,
we still have a lot of work to
do for the second half of the
season. Both Varsity Kick and
Varsity Jazz saw their highest
scores of the season on Thurs-
day night, but they want to
continue to build on that. All
