High school dance teams from across Oregon wrap up fall season at state category dance championships
High school dance teams completed the first half of their season this past Saturday competing at the Oregon Dance and Drill Coaches Association Category Championships at Rex Putnam High School.
To qualify to compete at the championships, each team had to finish first or second in a division by competing at a local DDCA sanctioned competition held earlier in the season.
Each team could compete in up to four different categories including: Kick, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, Hip-Hop, Pom and Novelty.
The second half of the season starts after the holidays with dance teams competing in smaller competitions in preparation for the Oregon State Dance and Drill Championships on March 17-19.
