ORLANDO, FL — Vestavia Hills High School can add another championship trophy to its already stacked shelf after the school dance team, the Rebelettes, captured the national championship in Orlando over the weekend.

Sunday’s team dance national championship finals included high schools from California, New York, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama. Vestavia's head coach, Faith Lenhart, said the squad's dedication to push each other to be their best was behind their success.
