The Sartell dance team poses before they go on the floor one last time for their 2022 season.

As we wrapped up the dance team state competition, everyone could feel the energy that the crowd was giving off, making up for the missed state tournament last year due to COVID. 

For Sartell this was their first year in Class AAA; they were very unsure how that weekend was going to roll out for them. St. Cloud Cathedral was another local team that moved to Class A in hopes of bringing home a state title.

Starting on Friday, February 18th with the state jazz competition, we saw a full crowd of cheering fans. There were six teams that advanced to finals in all three classes.

This brought Friday’s state jazz 2022 competition to a wrap, and then Saturday’s kick day began. The crowd was even more full than Friday’s crowd and the energy was something that hasn’t been felt in over a year. 

The teams were all coming off of a great jazz day and were ready to take on the kick day, February 19th. There were six teams in each class that advanced to finals.
