Knightettes to Defend State Title

Written by EPIC marketing & communications intern Grace Soderling '26

The BSM dance team showcased their talent and determination, earning a spot at the state tournament after a stellar performance at the Section 2AA Championship on Saturday, Feb. 1. Their dedication and hard work have once again paid off, solidifying their place among the best in Minnesota. In 2024, the Knightettes earned their second state title in three years, pushing them even harder to defend that title this year. 

Head coach Samantha Cameranesi shared about the team's camaraderie by saying, "This team is a family, a sisterhood, and together we have a bond that is tightly knit from the dancers to the coaching staff. What matters most is that this team continues to push boundaries and they never settle. They have this passion to leave their best performances as a team out on the floor every time. Our hope is that our student-athletes lead with their heart, perform to their fullest potential, make the audience feel something, and leave them on the edge of their seats."

The BSM Dance Team will compete in the Jazz category on Friday, Feb.14, and in the High Kick category on Saturday, Feb.15, at the 2025 MSHSL Dance Team State Tournament. The competition will be held at the Target Center, with qualifying rounds beginning at 11:30 a.m. for Jazz and 11:30 a.m. for High Kick.

We are incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and can’t wait to cheer them on as they take the floor! Go Red Knights!
