Over the last three weeks, Patriots have been practicing their dances, cleaning each and every dance routine they have just so viewers were able to enjoy the show. With their coach Alison Redding pushing them with lots of support and love, their show on Oct. 19 was a hit.

“Our show came out honestly amazing we were working so hard on every routine and to finally be able to show them off to our family and friends was just the highlight of the night,” JV dancer Destiny Sturns said.

On Oct. 14 the Patriots hosted a clinic for the grade levels of elementary through high school, the groups, rehearsed routines and did a fantastic job alongside the dancers.

“We have the little girls partner up with our dancers to give them that experience of actually being in front of an audience,” Coach Alison Redding said.

There were performances by TR Cheer, Patriots, Dazzlers, Cavaliers, and a special performance by the legendary Senior Boy Patriots.

“I think the teams did a great job. I really loved the sophomore dance. They were amazing, but to me I really loved the seniors Jazz kick routine,” Varsity dancer Kobi Jackson said, “Each team worked very hard and put in a 100 percent effort.”
