State dance competition is one to remember for MFL MarMac


The MFL MarMac Bulldog Dance Team home state championships in the military and kick divisions, as well as third place in M.I.X. and one of three coveted Judge’s Choice Awards, from the ISDTA state competition in Des Moines. Pictured (front, left to right) are Jerica Wille, Emma Koether, Madison O’Connell, Mariah Moser, Lauryn Johnson; (second row) Lily Johnson, Julia Grau, Kiarra Young, Madison Eilers, Rachael Keehner, Makenzie Corlett; (third row) Charlotte Koether, Grace Swatek, Taryn Moser, Skylar Fisk, coach Kelli Saxe; (back) Mackenzie O’Connell, Macy McGeough, Veda Torkelson and Addison Corlett.

Set to the White Stripes tune “Seven Nation Army,” MFL MarMac’s first-place kick routine featured the dancers in patriotic Army green and camouflage uniforms. At one point, they revealed flags across their stomachs. (Photo submitted)

MFL MarMac earned third place in M.I.X., a category with a mix of music and dance genres. (Photo submitted)

The team’s military routine was set to a darker and dramatic instrumental version of “Carol of the Bells.” In their bright blue, silver and black costumes sprinkled with jewels, the dancers looked like snowflakes. This routine took home first place and a Judge’s Choice Award for choreography. (Photo submitted)
