This summer the Algona Dance Team started getting ready for the 2024-2025 season. They have been on the go ever since! The Algona Dance Team earned a Division I rating at the Iowa State Dance Championships at Hy Vee Hall in Des Moines on Friday, December 6. The dance team competed against nine other teams in Class 9 Pom.
On Friday, October 25, Allee Carr and Adyson Metzger traveled to Pella High School to compete at the State Solo Qualifiers. Carr received a Division I rating in Class 6 Dance.
The dance team has done many performances so far this year, such as at the Homecoming pep rally, halftime at both girls’ and boys’ basketball games, and the girls showed off their State pom routine for all AHS students and staff at a pep rally.
The Diamond Dancers still have some halftime performances left. Come watch them on Monday, January 20 and Friday, February 7.
The dance team will wrap up their season with a Spring Showcase on Friday, February 28, at Algona High School. Team captain, Evie Guenther, said, “It’s always fun to reflect on what the team has accomplished over the years and throughout the season.”
