A house RESOLUTION

to congratulate the Dutch Fork High School Dazzlers 
dance teams, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and to honor 
them for winning three state championship titles at the South carolina state 
dance team championship, among other accomplishments.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is proud to recognize the Dutch Fork High 
School Varsity and Junior Varsity dance teams for being named State Champions 
in Varsity Jazz, Junior Varsity Jazz and Junior Varsity Hip Hop at the South 
Carolina Dance Association 2025 State Dance Team Championship held on February 
22, 2025, at the University of South Carolina in Aiken; and

Whereas, the Dazzlers 
had a wonderful season due in no small part to its seven senior team members. 
Madison (Captain), Kayla (Captain), Kailee, Lynisha, Kori, Mia and Nyla all are 
graduating this year and will be sorely missed next season, especially after 
such an incredible year. Additional team leaders include Campbell, Caroline, 
Vanessa, and Olivia; and 

Whereas, with an 
exceptional season overall, the Dutch Fork Dazzlers worked hard on and off the 
floor. They went from being finalists at Nationals and immediately turned 
around with eyes on a state title. The young women stayed focused, adapted to 
changes, encouraged one another, and overcame obstacles to achieve state titles, 
never forgetting their mantra used in practice: the only way through is 
together; and 

Whereas, the Dazzlers successfully 
hosted the largest dance team competition in the State, hosting over thirty 
schools on January 18, 2025. The Varsity Dazzlers had earned the Grand Champion 
at the Gator Dance Team Classic the week prior; and 

Whereas, the Dazzlers 
are also fortunate to dance on the sidelines at all home football games and 
perform at some basketball halftimes. The program hosts a summer dance camp for 
kids ages three to twelve each year called Razzle Dazzle, and the girls love 
giving back to the community by dancing with younger children. Many of the Dazzlers 
also are highly involved members of their school community, participating in 
student council, Beta Club, pearls, mock trial, National Honor Society, National 
Honor Society for Dance Arts, orchestra, yearbook, and many others; and 

Whereas, in February, 
the teams traveled to Orlando, Florida, to compete at the Dance Team Union 
National Championship, where they all made the final round. Junior Varsity 
Dazzlers made school history by attending Nationals for the first time ever. 
Both dances finished in the top ten, ninth in jazz and seventh in hip hop. 
Varsity Dazzlers earned thirteenth place in the medium Varsity Hip Hop Division; 
and 

Whereas, the following 
week, Junior Varsity Dazzlers earned the state championship title in both junior 
Varsity Jazz, and Junior Varsity Hip Hop. Varsity Dazzlers took home the state 
championship title in Jazz, and earned runner-up for their Varsity Hip Hop 
routine; and

Whereas, the girls have 
flourished under the leadership of Head Coach Maddy Thiemann and first-year Junior 
Varsity Head Coach Mackenzie Crotwell. They were assisted this season by 
Bethany Sanders and Bryanna Outman; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and 
recognition that the Dutch Fork High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Dazzlers 
Dance Teams have brought to their school and community and look forward to a 
future filled with further accomplishments by the teams and their talented 
athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate 
the Dutch Fork High School Dazzlers dance teams, coaches, and school officials 
on an outstanding season and honor them for winning three state championship 
titles at the South Carolina State Dance Team Championship, among other 
accomplishments. 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the Dutch Fork High School Coaches Maddy Thiemann and Mackenzie 
Crotwell.
