On Sat. January 30th, the Hopkins Royelles Dance Team participated in the section 2AAA at Minnetonka High School.

Only the top three teams at sections qualified for the state tournament. The Royelles placed fourth, missing the cut off by one placement.

Out of the total 15 teams, the Royelles were ranked higher than half of the competition for each dance. The Royelles placed fourth in kick and seventh in jazz.

As the dance team did not make it to state, the Royelles will perform one last time this Friday at the pepfest.
