The University of Minnesota Dance Team travels across the U.S. to compete against other college teams. But before leaving, it hosts the Best of the Best dance show to raise funds for the trip and to thank fans for their support. Attendees crowded into Williams Arena in Minneapolis on Jan. 4, where they were treated to dozens of performances by college and high school teams from Minnesota and several other states. The all-for-fun event (it's not an official competition) gives the teams a chance to put their best feet forward.
