East dance team shines at nationals

The East High School dance team, the Apollonaires, competed at the National Dance Team Championship Feb. 2-4 in Orlando. The team placed fifth in the nation in the Large Varsity Pom division and third in the Large Varsity Jazz division.

"This was truly a remarkable experience for the Lincoln East dancers, who now rank among the top teams in the nation,” said the team’s coach, Sarah Hartman. “It was a long journey, but the Apollonaires are returning home having made history for the Lincoln East dance program.”
