Special to the Times Vedette

The Panorama High School Dance Team recently competed at the State Solo contest in Newton. All five Panther dancers received Division I ratings including Hadley Fitch (sophomore, 15th in state), Maci Bauer (sophomore, 28th in state) and Ava Thorn (freshman, 37th in state). Cali Knudsen and Nella Rivas both received Division I ratings and placed in the top 10 to advance to state. (No places are given until they compete at state). They will compete in early December in the State Solo and Team contest. More than 950 dancers competed from schools across the state and were judged by school size. About 100 were picked to compete at state in December. Knudsen and Rivas will be representing Panorama in the Class 3 Division.
