The ACMS Pirate Dance Team is a non-tryout team that includes dancers of all different skill levels. Our season runs from May through January, consisting of summer camp and practices, freshman football performances, ACMS basketball performances, and two dance competitions. Our program is a great opportunity for dancers not only to improve their skills but also develop confidence and learn the importance of working as a cohesive team. It's also a great stepping stone for dancers interested in becoming a part of the Pewaukee High School Varsity Dance Team.
