School
Varsity Dance Team became
NDA's 2017 Large Varsity Hip
Hop National Champions. They
also competed in the Large
Varsity Pom division, where they
placed fourth in the nation.
According to Dance Program
Director Jennifer Jones, the team
fought hard to bring home the
Championship trophy.
“Going into finals, they were in
third place, but they decided that
they weren't taking ‘no’ for an
answer,” stated Jones. “They
came back in finals more fierce
and determined to win it all.
We're so excited for and proud of
these girls for all their hard work
and dedication to this amazing
program and its long-standing
mission of excellence.”
