"I am very excited that Neveah has chosen to attend Dordt next year and be a part of our dance team. I have gotten to know her well from teaching her at the dance studio for several years, and she is a fun and sweet girl with a bubbly personality, that I know will fit in well with our team next year. She will be the third Sampson sister now to go through our program, and I am excited to see what she will bring to our team these next couple years!" said Dordt dance coach Mel Knobloch.
