This past weekend our Wildcat Dance Team competed in the 48th Annual Metropolitan Dance Festival at Centennial High School in Gresham.

Fourteen teams competed in this event; 10 teams in 6A and 4 in 5A. Wilsonville placed 4th in the competition and will be attending state March 15-17th. Their performance on Thursday, March 15th will determine whether they will advance to the final round on Saturday.

Make sure to cheer on your classmates at the Memorial Coliseum for help them bring home the state title.

Alex Burkeen, a junior and her third year on varsity, was interviewed for her thoughts on the dance team. “My favorite part of being on the team is being able to create new relationships with all types of different people. Not only with my team during team bonding, but also at competitions with girls from other teams.”

Alex loves being able to go out on the floor and perform with her best friends sharing what they love to do with the audience.
