I teach ballroom dance to the students of Lone Peak High School. In addition I coach their Youth ballroom dance team. I choreographed two medleys, a Latin and a Standard medley, under NDCA regulations. I edited the music and designed the costumes for these routines. My team placed 7th in the nation at Nationals. The year before under a different coach they took last place in the entire country. I was able to take them up a division and in the finals which included 8 teams.
