All four routines placed in the top ten.
The South Brunswick Dance Team made township history when they earned four top ten titles at the 2013 United Dance Association National Dance Team Competition in Disney World this February. "This is the first year we went four for four," said coach Regina Boudwin. The team has qualified for nationals each year since 1995, with the exception of 2000, Boudwin explained. However the team has never had both routines for both Varsity and Junior Varsity make it to the finals, let alone place in the top ten. "I think over the past couple of years we've started to have a steady build on the success of the year prior. We took just a greater leap than we have in previous years this year," she said. Boudwin also credits the team's success to the …

The team earned three first place and one second place title for group performances, as well as earning the top three titles for senior solos.

10th-place finish in varsity jazz is a new school best.
Members of the South Brunswick High dance team, you just had your best finish ever in the national championships. Where are you going? Seriously, they went to Disney World. They were there for an hour this past Monday. You know, a regular bunch of Eli Mannings. "We're all exhausted, but still very excited," South Brunswick Coach Regina Boudwin said. The South Brunswick dance team members are exhausted because in just a span of a little over four days, they flew to Florida and back, had two days of practices, two 14-hour days of competition and that hour at Disney World.

Season will open with competitions on Jan 6-7.
After watching all of the other winter teams at South Brunswick High School start their seasons, the Viking dancers are eager to put up their pom poms and kick up their heels. South Brunswick not only will start their season soon, they will do it with a very busy weekend. On Jan. 6, South Brunswick will be competing at Ramapo University. The following day, South Brunswick will host the Battle of the Northeast. "It's a true test for the first weekend" South Brunswick Coach Regina Boudwin noted. Of course, it's a test South Brunswick has been studying up for a long time. "We've been practicing since the middle of November to get ready for this," Boudwin said. "We're excited to get going." One subject South Brunswick always seems to do well …
