DANCE TEAM  State competition in Des Moines on December 5

 

The team competed with 3 dances; pom, kick, & hip hop.  They placed in all 3 routines and have trophies for all of them.  In pom and hip hop they received 4th place and in kick they received 5th place.  This is the first time a Davenport West dance/pom team has received a trophy placement at the State Competition (the girls made school history).  They also received a plaque for being "Academic Distinguished" meaning as a team they had a grade point average of 3.5 to 4.0.  In addition, the team received a banner and plaque for being named "Character Counts Team of the Year".
