Dance
The Edgewood Arrowettes have big goals for their performances. In order to realize their dreams and attend competitions, the dance team has been sponsoring many fundraisers, such as car washes and root beer floats.
“My overall goal for the end of the year is to go to nationals and place in the finals,” said dance team captain, Savanna Dribble, 11.
On January 20th, the dance team will be dancing in their first competition. The whole team has been working super hard and it’s paying off. Practicing 2-3 times a week, the team is looking great.
“We have generally been able to learn fast and pick up the choreography really quickly,” said Savanna Dribble.
A big part of being on the dance team is the camaraderie that develops between team members. These dance team girls all value their close-knit support group of friends on the team.
“I’ve grown a lot closer with not only my coach but with my teammates as well. There are a lot of new members this year and it has been so fun getting to know them,” said Savanna Dribble.
