About the Dance Team:
Arleta's Dance Team started early 2009.  Though they are still new, they are known for their energizing performances at pep rallies and concerts.  They perform hip hop, jazz, lyrical and modern.  They perform at Football and Basketball half-times, in Pep Rallies, Dance Concerts, Assemblies, and at Dance Competitions.  They work very hard and do an excellent job!
 
Want to Join? 
Anyone interested in joining should download the "Dance Team FAQ" found at the bottom of this page.  The next tryouts will be held June 2011.  8th graders that will be coming to Arleta next year are encouraged to attend tryouts!  Experience is not required to make it onto the JV Dance Team, but it helps!  To join Varsity, dance experience is required.  To make it onto Varsity you must be able to perform a jete leap and a double pirouette in addition to being able to quickly learn and perform a dance.  If you do not have experience, but want to learn, you can see your counselor and request Beginning Dance.  Most members of the Dance Team started in Beginning Dance, then made it to JV Dance Team, and then move up to Varsity, so Beginning Dance is highly recommended, but not required.  If you have any further questions please contact Mrs. Bezerra.
