"I am thrilled Aubrey has committed to attending Dordt next year and has decided to join our dance team. Aubrey has a bubbly outgoing and joyous personality that brings energy to the room and I know she will be a great fit for our team next year. She has great experience in both studio dance and dance teams and I am excited to see how she will use these technical skills and continue to grow as a teammate while being a part of our team next year," said Dordt coach Mel Knobloch.
