SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – There’s never any shortage of activity at the Sanford Pentagon in February and March.
This weekend belonged to the athletes who so often are on the sidelines cheering on the teams involved in March Madness.
The Dakota Spirit hosted their 24th Annual Valentine’s Classic Cheer & Dance Championship with teams from a five state region converging on Sioux Falls. There were also guest performances from the University of South Dakota and South Dakota State University cheer teams as well.
It wasn’t just for high schoolers either with kids from preschool through middle school making up the more than 1800 who participated over the last two days, showing just how much the event has grown.
“When we first started our very first year was at Sioux Falls Christian. Lots of these teams that are here from South Dakota, in dance and cheer world, they will go down to Disney World in April and May and showcase at both Worlds and the Summit.” Dakota Spirit Program Director Joanna Naatjes says.
Teams Eclipse and Apollo will indeed travel to Nationals next week in Atlanta.
