Bio

The Dynamics are made up of 48 singers and dancers this year, who look forward to competing in Sauk Prairie, Bettendorf, Manteno, John Hersey, and Wheaton Warrenville South.  They are also super excited to host our 16th annual EPG Showdown.  In 2025, the Dynamics were named Grand Champions at the Manteno and Crete Monee competitions. The Dynamics are supported by a combo (Backbeat) consisting of 10 instrumentalists, directed by Emma Wierenga.  The Dynamics are choreographed by Michael Talamonti and Sarah Moore and directed by John Shaffer with assistant director Kathy Faulk.
