The purpose of the SHS Dance Company is to promote school spirit within the student body and to develop a sense of good sportsmanship and friendship with each other and between other schools during athletic and community events. All team members are representatives of Summerville High School and display behaviors that will reflect favorably on their team, their school and themselves at all times, in uniform or not.

SHS Dance Program Mission Statement
Here at SHS it is our mission to provide students with a well rounded dance education no matter what their prior experiences may be. We want all students that enter our program to walk away with an extensive knowledge of dance technique, dance history/current events, choreography experiences and an appreciation for the art form.
For our Dance Company students, we aim to provide them with multiple experiences that prepare them for college dance programs, dance teams and more. Also we aim to prepare them for a professional career in any field by encouraging responsibility, respect and fostering life skills. We help to advance their technique, formulate their own movement style and become choreographers and producers of works. We cannot wait to see your dancer flourish in our program and beyond!
