THE PAC Dance Team
Purpose and Mission
The PAC dance team is an elite group of dancers chosen by audition to promote school spirit, provide entertainment at various campus and community events, and to represent Walden Grove High School at local and state showcases and competitions.
​
The mission is to provide dancers with a successful, meaningful, and educational dance experience. Team members have personal goals of high academic achievement, improving their dance skills and abilities, learning effective time management and commitment while forming strong personal core values. It is my goal as their coach to help each member of The PAC dance team reach their highest individual potential.
​
The PAC is a dance team that practices year round after school on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, as well as company class during 6th period.
