Over 40 different dance teams from 14 schools and 4 dance studios participated in the showcase. Holdingford High School's Coach Grayce Meyer says the kids like to come but it is fun for her too:

"We love it. We love the opportunity to get scores early and just see kind of how we're placing> It's also really fun for me because I went here and I danced for Sartell so it's fun to kind of bring the two programs together."

The showcase is not a competition but judges do score all the dancers to get them early feedback before their season starts. Over 900 dancers took part in the showcase on Saturday.
