The hottest swing dance competition this side of the Mississippi River has drawn to a close, offering hundreds of fleet-footed students the exciting opportunity to take part in an challenging and fun competition.
Competition was fierce, but judges ultimately settled on this year's top dancers:
The competition includes two full weeks of elimination rounds before the school's top dancers eventually compete in a final competition. Hart's dedicated teachers and staff act as volunteer judges throughout the event.
The top ten couples were awarded front-of-line lunch passes good for an entire week, a certificate of participation and Starburst candy. In addition, each dancer who made it to the top five got $5 gift cards for Cold Stone Creamery and flowers for the girls. The top three couples were also awarded engraved medals.
All swing dance participants got front-of-line lunch passes good for a week and Starburst candy.
Thanks to Hart parent Randy Cazinha of Cazinha Portrait Design for shooting pictures at the final competition and supplying the top three couples with photo CDs.
Thank you to everyone at Hart -- teachers, staff, students and parents -- who work so hard every year to make our school's swing dance competition such a wildly fun and memorable event for everyone.
