CNS Varsity Dance Ensemble invited their alumni back on September 14th, 2018 to perform along side the current members, at Homecoming. This exciting celebration was in honor to rebrand the "CNS Varsity Dance Ensemble" to "CNS Varsity Dance Team". Coach Taylor says, "It was time to modernize the name of the varsity team. All college dance teams are no longer labeled as ensemble, but as a team. We hope that this attracts dancers who are training for college level teams, and not just as recreational. Although we have changed the name, we have not changed our traditions!"
