The first couple to do their dance was Lola and Ben!
Ben and Lola danced to a remix of “24k Magic” and “All I Do Is Win”! They had so much energy and some seriously impressive choreography. They next couple was Maddie and Marcus. They danced to “Teach Me How To Dougie”! They brought some nostalgia to use with the classic dougie dance. Third dancing was Ella and Andrew. They danced to “Rock With You”, and took some inspiration for TikTok! Next up was Kalyn and Owen who danced to “Juju On That Beat”. They also whipped out some sick accessories to added to their performance! Fifth up was Caitlyn and Micheal! These two danced to “Dancing Queen”! They did such a great job it felt like we were at a ABBA concert. Next up we have Ellie and Ashton. These two dances to “Pretty Girls Walk”, and channeled their inter diva. Last but not least, Fallyn and Calvin! These two danced to “Jump Around”. However, there was more jumping than dancing due to Calvin’s injury.

After the dance battle winners were announced it was time to total the votes and reveal the homecoming king and queen. The started with the guys. All the guys went to the front of the stage and were presented with a boot. In the boot would either be a rope, or a snake. If you were the guy with the snake, this would signify that you are the king. The boys all pulled out of their boot, and Micheal Hommerding received the snake, making him this years homecoming king! The crowd roared with cheers for Micheal. It was then the ladies turn. The girls came to the front of the stage and were presented with a small bag of coins. If your bag had a horse shoe in it, this means you are the homecoming queen! Each girl dumped their bag out, and Caitlyn was reavled as the queen! The crowd cheered for her victory!
