The award-winning Varsity Bisonette Poms of Buffalo Grove High School will be competing in the National Dance Team Championships in Orlando, Fla., through Monday, Feb. 6. The event is taking place at Walt Disney World, where the Bisonettes will also have some time to enjoy the parks at Disney. Teams will be coming from all over the country to compete in this multiday event.

Last summer, the Bisonettes competed at the Universal Dance Association camp at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Buffalo Grove’s routine received a high score, which qualified the squad to compete in the nationals. The Bisonettes will be competing in both the small varsity and high-kick divisions.

On Jan. 28, the Bisonettes competed at Fenton High School’s Invitational where the varsity team captured first place and also qualified for state in both Pom and Kick categories. Throughout the current competitive season, the Bisonettes have already won four first-place trophies.

The 16-member varsity Bisonettes team is under the direction of Christina Govert, science teacher at BGHS. Coverage of the National Championships can be seen on varsity.com, where the Bisonette’s routines will be posted.
