Lauren Benjamin, a recent graduate of Perry High School, auditioned with the Indian Hills Community College Dance Team Thursday and was offered a spot on their roster, which she gladly accepted.
Indian Hills Dance Team Coach Cyndi Mellin worked through the signup process with Benjamin, whose audition had been delayed due to a injury.
Under Mellin’s leadership, the Ottumwa-based Indian Hills Community College Cheer Squad and Dance Team offers some 30 scholarships, with members traveling to professional cheer camps, the national basketball tournament and other competitions.
Benjamin was a member of the PHS Perry Pulse Dance Team and attended Micki’s Gotta Dance Studio in Ogden.
She is the daughter of Amy and Brian Benjamin of Perry.
