Hello Hawks & Parents!
I am so excited for this upcoming school year and all that we will accomplish together. My name is Eleann Lopez, and I am the Drill Team Director and Dance Teacher here at Harlingen South. I am entering my 6th year in Education and truly enjoy seeing my students excel both as dancers and leaders. We have already seen so much growth in our Team and look forward to an even better year ahead.
The Southern Stars are excited and ready to continue our great tradition of excellence. As we enter this new year, our Drill Team dancers can expect to dive into training and performing in various genres such as Jazz, Pom, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Kick, etc. Be sure to keep an eye out for our upcoming performances under the Friday Night Lights, at Competition, our annual Spring Show, and more. Let's have a blessed year!
Parents, I encourage you to assure your child is continuously improving their skills and technique by spending time practicing at home. The following are just a few skills they can focus on:
-Stretching
-Turns (Pirouettes, Coupes, Secondes)
-Leaps/Jumps (Jete, Tilt, Russian, Calypso, etc.)
-Kicks
-Choreography for upcoming performances
If needed, please feel free to contact me during 5th period (3:00-4:10PM) on both A & B days!
