Right before the Dixie Blaze came out for its second-to-lanumber, and Stuin the Westside middle of right dio's number, lights started flashing and sirens began wailing. "Well, I always hear we have a lot of luck," said head coach Kori Esplin. "Having it go off during our last dance performance and right in the middle of a Michael Jackson number, where everyone thought it was part of the dance, was pretty comical." The dancers continued the show WEDNESDAY It took more than a fire alarm to stop Dixie State University's dance team. The Dixie Blaze Dance Team had its final performance of the semester Thursday at 7 pm. Toward the end of the team's showcase, the fire alarm went off for unknown reasons, but the dancers didn't miss a beat, and they kept dancing through the alarm. The team started the night accompanied by male partners who they then traditionally waltzed with to the song "How far I'll go" by Alessia Cara. The Dixie Blaze showcased dances from the athletic season, which the team usually performed at halftime and on the sidelines of athletic events. Other dance teams, such as Desert Hills Tempest Line and Westside Studio of Performing Arts, performed in between the Dixie Fl rtiks14 , IIVOICEOFDIXIE DIXIESUNNEWS.COM WHAT'S INSIDE News .....

"Vaping is a great way for people to stop smoking cigarettes," Schneidman said. "It's substitute for smoking cigarettes: and it doesn't do any harm to anyone because it's mostly water; vapor." Patrick Weeks, a freshman theater major from Las Vegas, agrees the ban is beneficial for most students on campus. "I am extremely grateful for the smoking ban on campus," Weeks said.
