Bridgeport High's Dance Team's Dancing Star Clinic is a Hit as Event Draws in Dozens of Youngsters

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on January 30, 2023

Bridgeport High School Dance Team Coach Terri Kress was pleased with the Dance Team’s Dancing Star Clinic, held Jan. 16.
 
Nearly 40 young girls participated, learning a dance routine from members of the BHS Dance Team. The aspiring dancers then had opportunity to showcase their newly-learned skills Thursday evening, Jan. 19, during the halftime performance at the Indians varsity basketball game against Phillip Barbour. 
 
Spectators voted for dance contestants by purchasing votes for $1 each in the school cafeteria. Tiny Dancing Star (ages 4-7) and Dancing Star (ages 8-11) winners and runners-up were announced after their performance.
 
Jade Harris was crowned the Tiny Dancing Star Winner, and Runner-Up was Brinzlee Dieringer.
 
Jordyn Lawson was crowned the Miss Dancing Star Winner, and Runner-Up was Jaci Bush. 
 
Winners will have the privilege of escorting the BHS Dance Team in the 2023 BHS Homecoming Parade.
 
The clinic served as a fundraiser for the Dance Team, which performs at various BHS athletic events and competes near the end of the performance season. 
 
"We are very appreciative of the dancers, their parents and families," Kress said. "We had a great turnout and look forward to continuing this tradition next year."
 
Members of the 2022-2023 BHS Dance Team are: Sofia Rubi, Josie Love, Lydia McClung, Alexis Elliott, Tori Honaker, Olivia Hall (seniors), Sydney Bargo (junior), Hallie Sabatino, Cadence Kelley, Atiana Lopez, Bella Dobranski, Sophia Devono (sophomores), Stella Rubi, Ava Short, Presley Veltri, Ella Sherrell, Brianna Brown, Giuliana Lively, Lucy Keough, Reagan Atha, and Leah Pugh (freshmen). 
 
Dancing Star Clinic participants were: Ava Bonasso, Gianna, Bonasso, Mila Bonasso, Donna Bonenberger, Sophia Brown, Jaci Bush, Emma Crawford, Jemma Crawford, Madelyn Dale, Brinzlee Dieringer, Kenley Edwards, Harper Fernandez, Kameron Flesher, Emry Gawthrop, Jade Harris, Sophie Hawkins, Gabriella Hefner, Paisley Helms, Amelia Horne, Jordyn Lawson, Poppy Lesmann, Nola Lewis, Gracie Lindsey, Calla Marple, Emery Marsh, Victoria Matheny, Stella Murphy, Rozida Rexroad, Harper Rowh, Nova Ryan, Scotlin Snell, Sophia Turner, Vaughn Veltri, Alba Waldron, Aurora Waldron, and Makenzie Wilson.
