Southwestern’s dance team is adding two Creston dancers to its roster for next fall, adding Paige Busch and Payton Burg.

The addition of two local dancers was announced by interim head coach Lindsay Street, who will be working with recently hired head coach Amy Stults to bring in new and local talent to the Spartan dance team.

“I am thrilled with the addition of Paige and Payton to the Spartan Dance Team,” Street said. “They both have so much talent and an impressive dance career under their belts already. I know Paige and Payton will shine at Southwestern, both on the dance team and academically. We’re lucky to have them.”

Busch has won honors from Spotlight School of Dance’s 10 Year Dancer of the Year and has also been given a Division I rating at the Iowa State Drill Team Association’s solo compeition.

Busch is the CCHS National Honor Society treasurer and a member of the honor roll and Beta Eta Nu chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Burg, a four-year letterwinner with the CCHS Peppers, has several years of dance experience with Leslie’s Dance and Tumbling, and is also a member of National Honor Society and the honor roll.

Busch is the daughter of Scott and Kelly Busch of Creston and Burg is the daughter of Jason and Nicky Burg of Creston. Both will graduate from CCHS in May 2020.
