Hopkins Royelles Headed to State

The dancers finished third in the jazz portion of the Section 2AAA meet and second in the Lake Conference.

The Hopkins Royelles are headed to state following a strong winter season. The Hopkins High School dance team placed third Saturday in the jazz portion of the Section 2AAA meet. The finish earned them a trip to the Feb. 15 state meet at the Target Center. The Royelles just missed a top-three finish in the kick portion—with Chanhassen edging them out by three points. That performance follows strong finishes in conference competition. The dancers ended the season second overall in the conference with second place finishes in both the jazz and kick portions of the final conference meet Jan. 17.   Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our free daily newsletter | Check out Patch’s Pinterest boards

Lauren, Sydney and Taylor Rosenzweig, sisters on Hopkins High School's Royelles dance team this year, began dancing at age 2. They’ve spent hours perfecting their craft, dedicating evenings after school and weekends to sharpening their moves and tweaking their performance. It’s not always easy, and, admittedly, there are days when they’re not in the mood to practice. But dancing is in their blood. It’s what the Rosenzweigs do. “We definitely are the dancing family,” sophomore Sydney Rosenzweig said. “We dance seven days a week. Anywhere we are, we’re dancing.
