Dance Preview: Pequot Lakes/Pine River-Backus Revolution coach optimistic for this season

Pequot Lakes/Pine River-Backus Revolution varsity dance team coach Samantha Jackson is optimistic about this season with 10 letterwinners and a new junior varsity kick squad. “We are excited for the program to be growing with the addition of our junior varsity kick team, which we did not have last year,” said Jackson, whose squad is scheduled to open Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Brainerd Invitational. “We have five new dancers who joined this season, and we are excited to watch them grow as individuals and improve their skills and bond with the team," she said. Letterwinners are seniors Addy Rau, Mady Kinnan, Madi Dupre and Charlee Child; juniors Kenzie Kozelka and Addy Johnson; sophomores Claire Glaser and Kaylee Kozelka; and freshmen Dagne Neale and Kaylee Bachmann. We have some exciting themes and routines this season that are pretty different from what we've done in the past. The team has been working hard on learning choreography to be ready for our first competition.
