Coaches, captains, choreographers and other dancers on the ballroom team are preparing themselves for this year.
“We’ve been practicing in class and we also met during the summer,” said coach, Alexis Leonelli.
“We make sure that partnerships are close to height and strength to make the difficulty of the dance look effortless,” said coach, Alexis Leonelli.
Students are given a chance to create dances for their team to perform in performances but it takes time to create the dance and it takes time to teach the dance to the dancers.
“Students have the opportunity to perform and produce their own work. They have been working since the end of last school year learning choreography concepts to be ready to teach their teammates,” said coach, Alexis Leonelli.
“A lot of coaches don’t realize that they want to add something new and exciting to the new season until it’s too late,”said coach, Alexis Leonelli.
“We will be having a fundraiser on the 1st of November that the Legacy Ballroom Dance Company will be performing in and all those who come will be encouraged to dance as well,” said coach, Alexis Leonelli.
The captains of the Ballroom team have been working hard to make sure that every dancer is having a good time in ballroom and making sure that the season is a great one.
Senior Coulter Thomsen said, “I hope that we can get a lot done and to also have everything to perfection but to also have fun and to get to know each other better.”
Not only have coaches and captains and choreographers been working hard, the dancers have also been working hard to learn the dances and get them perfected.
The dancers have been enjoying ballroom and having a great time.
“I enjoy ballroom because it’s where I can be myself and all of my friends are on the team and It’s just a comfortable place to be,”said Gwendelyn Tabin, sophomore.
¨Because I love dancing and it’s very therapeutic for me,¨ Said sophomore Sabrina Schoenfeld.
