Silverton's Dance Team gets first place in Jazz

By Grace Hansen
Editor


Silverton dance team member Sophia Johnston, a senior, was surprised Nov. 6, as her team won first place in Jazz not only in their division at the Wilsonville High School competition, but out of all 12 teams competing, making them grand champions.

"It was surprising because we have six new people on the dance floor this year and seven returners," Johnston said.

They also went on to place third in their division for Hip-Hop.

Their next competition is at Clackamas High School Saturday, Nov. 13.

The Silverton Dance team will have a challenge they didn’t have at the Wilsonville High School.
Freshman dance team member Celiah Norris broke her ankle in a non-dance related accident.

Now Carissa Grambush will have to step up to the plate and learn Norris’ position and group placement in a week’s time.

"I’m sure that she will be okay; this competition will just be a bit different," Johnston commented.
