The J-Hawks Dance Team is a group of dedicated and passionate dancers who represent the spirit and enthusiasm of our high school. Our team strives for excellence in dance, teamwork, and leadership. We aim to inspire and entertain our school and community through our performances.
Tryouts are held once a year in April and cover the full season (August – March). The dance team performs at:
- School assemblies
- Varsity football sidelines & halftimes
- Varsity Basketball sidelines & halftimes
- Local and State Dance Competition
We also have opportunities for competitive soloists, duets or trios.
