DANCE

Eastview wins spell S-W-E-E-P

After performing to a routine called "Spelling Bee" in the high kick competition of the dance team state tournament, Eastview now can spell out C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S. They took the title Saturday night at Target Center.

This was the second title of the weekend for the Lightning Dance Team, which won the jazz competition Friday. It's the second time in three years that Eastview has swept both titles, and the team has won five high kick titles dating back to 2011. Wayzata took second place for the second year in a row, and Chaska finished third.

Another high kick and jazz dual championship happened in Class 2A with Totino-Grace winning the championship. The E'Gals last won the kick championship in 2014. Faribault, which won the Class 3A title a year ago, came in second after dropping down a class size — due to enrollment. Sartell-St. Stephen finished third.

Aitkin won the Class 1A title; it was the third consecutive high kick championship for the All Starz. Frazee finished second, and Montevideo finished third.
