Ravenwood High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Dance Teams traveled to Knoxville to compete in a dance camp held by the Universal Dance Association (UDA) at the University of Tennessee.
The RHS Dance Team has won the State Championship title in Jazz category six times and they added even more awards to their resume at the UDA camp. Sophomore, Susanna Dunn was crowned the Drill Down Queen. All dancers received Blue Ribbons, the seniors and captains were chosen for the UDA All American Team, and both the JV and Varsity teams received Superior trophies with a respective first and second place finish for their home routines. Most importantly, the RHS Dance Teams were given the Leadership Award which is voted on by all the dancers who attend the camp as the team they would most like be on.
“Camp gives our dancers a chance to showcase their talent while also taking a look at some of our competition” says choreographers Kirstin Hawk, RHS Varsity Dance Team Choreographer. Valerie Reynolds, RHS Junior Varsity Dance Team Choreographer adds “this is the first time we have taken a JV team to camp, and the first time for them to compete which is incredibly exciting.”
“Ravenwood has a broad variety of sports available to our student athletes. Sometimes the bigger sports are more widely known, but these ladies have more state championships,” added Ravenwood Athletics Director, Patrick Whitlock
