Trojans’Thompson part of All-State Dance team

Marillis Thompson, a senior at New Prague High School and a member of the New Prague Trojan Dance Team, was recently accepted to the Minnesota All-State Dance Team.

Thompson, along with more than 200 dancers representing 80 schools from around the state, were recognized and performed at Shakopee High School on Saturday, March 12.

To be eligible for the team, dancers must be nominated by an MADT head coach. Dancers are then selected by a committee of coaches, who review the dancers’ performance via video. Thompson was selected in the Jazz category.

New Prague High School was also recognized for the school dance team’s academic achievements, with a combined team GPA higher than 3.33.

One of Thompson’s New Prague teammates, Ali Holden, also qualified for the team, but was not able to participate in the March 12 program.

Thompson has danced on the New Prague Trojan Dance team for four years and has been a studio dancer for 14 years, currently dancing at CSDS in Prior Lake.
