2021 Iowa State Dance Championships

Despite the pandemic nearly 5,000 of Iowa’s top young dancers participated in this year’s championships. The Iowa State Dance Team Association focused on creating a COVID-19 safety plan that would allow dance and color guard teams to compete either in-person or virtually. An astounding 200 teams competed in-person and another 70 competed virtually.

Enjoy highlights of all the winning routines and meet some of the coaches and dancers from across the state who represent their schools and communities through their love of dance.
