The Walla Walla High School Blue Devil Dance team finished 4th at the WIAA State Dance Competition this weekend. This is the first state appearance for the school's Dance Team since 2014. The team competed against 19 teams. Walla Walla High School graduates Emma Eskil and Merrit Morris coach the team.

"This great group of young ladies worked extremely hard over last six months and their effort paid off," said Athletic Director Dirk Hansen.

Community members will have an opportunity to see the Wa-Hi Dance Team perform live during the public Nights of Dance show March 30 and 31 at 7 p.m. in the Walla Walla High School Auditorium. This is also a fundraiser for the Wa-Hi Dance Team and there will be an assortment of routines performed.
