Our dance team is comprised of talented dancers who have continued to grow the Shirettes dance program since 1973. Each year our team is hand selected through a tryout process in the spring. The team attends camp, early morning practices, and bonds as they prepare for the school year. Our team works through challenges by using our core values–passion, genuine, attack, and Knight Pride!

Being a genuine teammate means showing up to every practice and performance with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and grow together. It means supporting your teammates through thick and thin, and helping them reach their goals. It also means being honest and open with your teammates, and putting the team’s interests ahead of your own. When you’re a genuine teammate, you’re not afraid to take responsibility for your mistakes and learn from them. You’re willing to listen to others, offer constructive criticism, and use it to help each other improve. Your teammates become your best friends and strengthen the unbreakable bond of our team.

Attacking each moment means dancing with enthusiasm, intention, and grit. It means being bold and confident in the face of challenges. It is about being in the moment and making the most of it, rather than moving through the motions. Attacking each moment also means recognizing that each moment is a chance for growth and learning. It is a chance to create and build something meaningful, to take risks and to experience life fully. It is a way of living life with purpose and passion.
