Dorians take home camp awards

The MBHS Dorians dance team attended four-day Universal Dance Association Camp at Auburn University in July.

The team, led by Captain Isabella Keating and Co-Captains Elizabeth Damrich and Lamar Cooper, took second place in Home Routine Competition, doing a jazz, high kick dance to Michael Jackson’s “State of Shock.”

They were awarded the Super Spirit Stick, an award based on their work ethic, positive attitude and teamwork; the Leadership Award, the most prestigious award that is voted on by the other teams attending the camp; and a Superior Trophy.

Elizabeth Damrich won the Drill Down Competition and was crowned Drill Down Queen. Jennifer Sirkin was runner up.
