The Jamestown College Knight Line Dance Team is proud to announce the signing of Taylor Burns. Burns is a senior from Watertown High School in Watertown, South Dakota.

"I love to dance, and have been doing it since I was in kindergarten and it is a passion of mine," Burns said when asked about her motivation for joining the Knight Line Dance Team.  The Dance Team is directed by Kimberly Williams.

Taylor has earned a spot on the Honor Roll all four years of high school and has also been the recipient of the Awesome Arrow Academic Award.

Her involvement in her dance studio has allowed her a diverse background encompassing Cechetti ballet, contemporary, tap, jazz, musical theatre, Irish dance, kick, hip-hop, pom, and pointe.

As a dance team member, she lettered in competitive dance for four years and performance dance for two years. Burns helped earn a state title in small group pom and hip-hop during her time at Watertown High School.

Taylor looks forward to "making new friends, continuing to do something that I love, learning new dances, and making new memories."

Taylor Burns enters Jamestown College this fall and will major in Nursing.

Taylor is the daughter of Brent and Jennifer Burns.

The Knight Line Dance Team is proud to announce the signing of Ashley Renner, Hutchinson High School (Minnesota) senior. Renner brings a combination of dance team and dance studio training to the Knight Line Dance Team, coached by Dance Director Kimberly Williams.

As a member of her high school dance team, she gained experience in jazz and high kick and helped clinch a ninth place finish this year. She has taken ballet, jazz, and hip hop in her studio for 15 years, resulting in numerous gold place trophies from competitions.

Renner's response to what motivated her to become a member of a college dance team was simple, "I've always loved dancing and I wanted to continue to dance during college…I'm very excited to meet all my teammates and learn a new style of dance." Renner has never been a part of a pom squad and thinks it will be "fun to experience something new."

Ashley Renner is the daughter of Brain and Dawn Renner. She will be entering Jamestown College Fall 2012 with the intent to major in Elementary Education.
