Pella Forte has had tremendous success at the Iowa State Dance and Drill Team Association state competitions in recent years, a tradition they hope to continue with a large returning group this week in Des Moines. The high school dance team won two state championships in 2022, winning in Class III novelty, and for the fourth consecutive year in Class II Military. This year’s senior class includes Olivia Cunningham, Isabelle McCann, Alexa Klein, Stella Stelpflug, Tess Hopkins, Kalea Hastings, and Harleigh Walkup. The group is featured on today’s Let’s Talk Pella. Knoxville and Pella Christian dancers will also be featured on interview programs this week ahead of the state competition this Wednesday through Friday.
