The Highland Belle lieutenants performed at Encore Officer Camp in Frisco, TX. After a grueling but rewarding camp at Frisco Convention Center and two evaluations, the lieutenants received blue superior ribbons. The Belles danced under the direction of Shannon Harty, director, and Emily Sanchez, assistant director.

“Congratulations to Faye, Katie, Allison, Brooke, and Staley. We are very proud of them.” said Harty. “During our four day stay, the lieutenants took three master classes from NYC/LA dance experts, performed their home routine to rave reviews, learned three new pieces of choreography, and participated in daily technique class while developing leadership skills and bonding as a new group.”
