Hello dancers! Just to update you last weekend was The Rhythm is Jumpin' in Kansas City, and your town was well represented! In addition to having a dozen dancers travel to the event, we were active in competition as well.
Wichita dancers competed in the Open Jack & Jill, Slow Jack & Jill, Showcase, and Team divisions!
Jeremiah Slattery placed 2nd in the Open Jack & Jill!
Chelsea Rothschild and Alaynna L. placed 3rd in the Showcase!
The Lindy Bombers (Evan Borst, Ellen Borst, Jeremiah Slattery, Corina Tillman, Chelsea Rothschild, and Phil Wiemeyer) took 1st in the Team Division!
That's a lot of results to be proud of, so please congratulate them when you see them!
