The 15-member Wellesley High School Varsity Dance Team this weekend earned a third place finish at the big Emmanuel College Dance Competition, firing up the crowd with a technical yet showy routine set to a Lady Gaga song remix. Coach Alexis Leahy, former captain of the Boston Celtics Dancers, and team co-captains, Molly Astrove and Laine Wirth, said dedicated practice 4-5 afternoons a week and a cohesiveness built through fundraising and other activities enabled the team to perform so well.
The team performs regularly at WHS basketball games and is gearing up for the State Dance Championships in March.
