Eight teams participated in the "Sno Dance" at Willmar High School, with four teams participating in Paynesville's class in the high kick dance.

The Melrose Rosettes took first, and Minneota was second with Paynesville taking third.

The team made a great first showing, according to the coaches Jeanne Virant and Barb Werlinger. The team looked strong throughout their routine and as the dance evolves throughout the season the coaches look forward to perfecting their synchronization and variety of moves.

Paynesville's danceline, the Bullettes, competed at halftime on Friday night and then competed on Saturday at Willmar. Pictured, from left, are Michelle Magedanz, Amanda Halvorson, Amanda Skalicky, Angela Wunsch, Holly Bennett, Brittany Stang, Jessie Virant, and Maggie Frieler.

Danceline members this year are: Holly Bennett, Laura Buermann, Amanda Burlingame, Val Callenius, Maggie Frieler, Amanda Halvorson, Rachel Hanson, Katie Holtzclaw, Michelle Magedanz, Megan Reeck, Amanda Skalicky, Brittany Stang, Jessie Virant, Angie Wunsch, and Carrie Zirbes.

Their dance - which must include at least 60 kicks, but no more than 75 - was choreographed by the team captains Burlingame, Hanson, and Virant, as well as by Callenius and Holtzclaw.
