Get turnt with that amazing Grant routine! Got their synchro in full effect and excelling at the big and bold visuals. These dancers make insanely athletic moves look second nature. Maybe the best low level changes I’ve seen all szn in a hh dance!

Dynamic formations/staging by Crystal Lake South! Appreciating their use of the floor esp front-back depth. Can’t go wrong with that pair of left turners. Commendable confidence and attitude!

@8camalea Nah it’s just auto correct thinking it’s the boss haha

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Right off the bat, Saint Joe brought the heat! Their whole routine was perfectly in sync-so crucial to a solid hip hop routine! So well crafted, amazing job!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Another team I’m so thankful I got to watch grow this season-Clinton! A graceful and technically sound routine. I love the emotion behind this routine!

This team isn’t filled with just dancers, but performers. And THAT’S what makes a team stand out.

Macomb- the simplicity of this routine, yet still so difficult, clean, and elegant, I love it even more than the last time I watched it!

[Yipes! @Yipesonline]

@8camalea you are getting to listen to some prettt awesome throw back music between performances!!!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Mattoon’s choreography has been one of my favourites of the day. It was so unique and artistic, not to mention beautifully executed!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

@8CountAudio 😬😬😬😬😬 you caught me

[Yipes! @Yipesonline]

@8camalea They are consistently amazing for sure!!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

I am so glad I finally got to see St. Anthony’s team perform! Such an elegant routine. I’ve never seen a routine from this school I didn’t like!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Another team that has made so much improvement-Unity!!! I have loved this routine from the beginning of the season, but WOW have they improved! A high level of difficulty, clean, intricate-what’s not to love 😍

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Still love Civic Memorials concept for this dance! So happy they brought this routine. I love to see all of their progress they’ve made this season. Beautiful job!!

[8 Count Audio-Malea @8camalea]

Notre Dame starting off the second half super strong! A quick paced, high energy Pom routine. Excellent job!
