A HUGE round of applause for our 2026 WMDT soloists! Brie Sorensen, Jaysa Ross, Lydia Fester, Charis Sorensen, and Leila Holverson. They took the floor with their solos at the ISDTA State Solo Qualifiers and absolutely killed it! These WMDT dancers have worked so hard this season and have shown so much growth, dedication, and love for these routines! We are SO SO SO proud of them! DI ratings were awarded to Brie Sorensen, Lydia Fester, Charis Sorensen, and Leila Holverson - and Charis Sorensen, will be advancing to the State finals by placing in the top ten of today’s soloists! We cannot wait to see her take the stage again at the Iowa State Dance Team Championships in December!!!
