Sisters student wins honors for dance

A Sisters High School student won top honors for her solo at the

Spotlight Dance Cup in Portland.

Sydney Linn, a junior at SHS, is an extremely dedicated honor roll student, school leader, and a competitive dancer. Sydney has been training in various styles of dance for the last 10 years: specifically ballet, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary. She is a member of the senior company at The Dance Connection Bend.

On April 10, Sydney competed with her solo piece entitled “The Dance,” and earned a Diamond ranking, the highest level afforded within the Spotlight evaluation system. In addition, she won first place in her division, and was awarded the highest overall score in the senior elite solo category.

As a result, Sydney earned a full scholarship to a summer intensive to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, and a bid to compete in the Spotlight Dance Cup National event in July.
