The tradition began shortly before Ely’s girls team won a 2017 state title.

The 2017 state champ team of Caroline Homer, Erin Bianco (that year's individual state champ), Ryne Prigge, Emma Terwilliger, Laura Pasmick, Brooke Pasmick and Evelyn Bercher helped start the informal dance-off tradition. (Provided)

When the high school Nordic ski teams of Section 7 gather for a race, it’s always a show, featuring some of the state’s fastest skiers.

But on Saturday, when Ely hosts its section opponents, the skiers will put on a show, quite literally.

After the skiers cross the finish line, and as results are tabulated, Ely’s race organizers turn up the speakers, and teams compete in a dance-off.
