Why Dordt: "I chose to attend Dordt for its faith based education, its cheer program, and its close proximity to my home."

Dordt Dance Coach Mel Knobloch Says: "We are so thrilled to have Alex join our cheer program at Dordt this coming year! She has so much spunk and energy, and a willingness to learn and try new things, that I know that she will fit in real well with our team and will also be a great asset to our program! With her combination of wrestling skills and cheerleading skills, her body awareness and control are a great strength of hers. I am looking forward to seeing how she will grow and develop during her time here at Dordt, both physically and academically, but also socially and spiritually."
