The Eureka High School Varsity Competitive Dance Team recently attended a Universal Dance Association Camp (UDA) at Illinois State University on July 6-9. The team earned two trophies, qualifying them for National Competition in Orlando, Florida. The EHS Dance Team competed in small varsity with a jazz routine, earning first place. Twenty-three teams competed in both small and large varsity. The EHS Dance Team also earned a Superior Trophy, which double qualified them for Nationals. In the eleven years Rebecca Hack has coached the Dance Team, they have qualified for National Competition nine times. They have earned second and third places trophies, but never a first place qualification. Senior, Allicia Mooberry, also earned her third UDA All-American or All-Star Award. To earn this honor, dancers learn a routine at UDA Camp consisting of Jazz, Pom, and Hip Hop. All-American Candidates are required to choreograph two additional eight counts and perform the routine in front of judges on the third day of UDA Camp. The Competitive Dance Team is coached by Rebecca Hack and Ashleigh Hadfield.
