Dancing their way to summer.

As the year draws to an end, the EHS dance team has one last chance to show off their moves. Dance team will be holding one final showcase, marking the end of their season.

The team will perform Saturday, June 3rd at approximately 7:00 pm. Pre-sale tickets are on sale now ($5 with ASB, $12 general), but will also be sold at the door ($10 with ASB, $15 general). The showcase will be held in the El Dorado Performing Arts Center located on 1651 N Valencia Ave Placentia CA 92870. According to coach Bittner, those who attend the dance show should expect to see the team’s year-long commitment through, “student choreography as well as the competition numbers from this year in addition to some fun guest artists.”

When asked how it feels to have the season finish up, senior Gigi Gusman describes it as, “nerve racking in a way. To know that everything is coming to an end and I have to move on is kind of scary.” Senior Mackenzie Mosman describes it as “bittersweet.” Mosman goes on to add, “I’m so happy that I’m a senior and I’m finally graduating and all my hard work has paid off, but on the other hand it’s very hard to not be on the same team as girls I have danced with for 5-7 years beforehand. Dancing with them for the last time will be very hard.”

Gusman believes the team’s highlight of the season to be getting two dance numbers into finals at a big competition at Long Beach back in April. She credits the team’s success to their strong bond and how well they all work together. “We all have different strengths that make the team stronger,” she explains.

As a whole, the team never took their eye off the prize. Constantly thinking about their competition and how close they would come to beating them is what Gusman believes pushed the team to stay organized and motivated to the end. As a last hurrah the dance team would like everybody to come out to their last show case and support them as their journey comes to an end.
