"This dance is more of a chance for them to let loose and have fun," Hallsville dance team instructor Kathryn Calaway told KLTV. In the past, Calaway said, such "novelty dances" have featured dancers dressed up as dinosaurs and grannies.
The Belles’ dance was the highest scoring novelty dance that day at the contest.
The team also won grand champion in the super division for both team and officer dances, plus a sweep in each category entered.
Calaway told KLTV the girls deserve all the attention they're getting.
"They're here before everyone else," she said about their work ethic. “I feel honored to work with them."
The Belles are headed to Galveston, Texas, later this month to compete in the Showtime International competition.
