These talented teams have put in the work and now, it's their time to shine on stage. Last year's competition was one to remember and the defending champs are sure to be top teams to watch in 2018. Here are some of the top teams from 2017 to be on the look out for next weekend:

Academy of the Holy Angels – Small Varsity Hip Hop

Coming all the way from Demarest, New Jersey, these ladies have shown no fear in letting their wings fly! Academy of the Holy Angels captured another title in the Small Varsity Hip Hop division last year, going back-to-back since 2016. 

Do the Holy Angels have what it takes to fly high over the other competitors and add another trophy to the case? Be sure to watch the Small Varsity Hip Hip Finals on Varsity TV starting at 12:45 PM ET on Sunday, February 4.

Los Alamitos High School – Small Varsity Pom and Jazz

The Small Varsity Pom and Jazz division national titles were both taken by Los Alamitos High School in 2017 as the team went back-to-back in the Pom division. Will 2018 be the year they capture the back-to-back title for Jazz as well? And will they keep their Pom streak alive too? 

St. Thomas More Catholic School – Medium Varsity Pom and Jazz

The Sparklers of St. Thomas More Catholic are a well-known name in the Medium Varsity Pom and Jazz divisions. With 13 total national Pom titles and their most recent Jazz title in 2017, these ladies are looking to add two more trophies to their collection. Watch Medium Varsity Pom Finals at 12:48 PM and Jazz at 7:03 PM on Sunday to see if they continue their sparkle!

Eisenhower High School – Large Varsity Hip Hop and Jazz

Last year, the Eisenhower Eagles swept the competition, leaving with a national title in both the Large Varsity Hip Hop and Jazz divisions. The team is traveling from Shelby Township, Michigan and has switched to the Medium Division for 2018. Do they have what it takes to go back-to-back in some of the hardest divisions in the competition?
