About MNHSDanceTeam.com:

Minnesota High School Dance Team Online was founded in August of 2011 after a lack of internet and media coverage of the sport of dance created an opportunity for the dance team world to simply “do it ourselves”.  What started off as an experiment in media and journalism for the microbiologist by trade and long time coach Erin Kruesi, has turned into a highly visible and popular hub for all things dance team.  In its first season, MNHSDanceTeam.com brought in 100,000 views from around the world and now brings in 500,000+ views a year.  The site now has 2.5 million visits since it’s inception.   The new look of mnhsdanceteam.com had its debut in November 2012 and is produced by Elysia Kotke and Brass Tacks Publishing.
