Dancing into competition season
February 1, 2018
| The Glenbard South dance team, coached by Lisa Roy, started its season on October 23. |
| The dance team has been in the 2A division and had its first competition at Andrew High |
| School in Tinley Park, on November 18. There are 13 girls on the varsity team, and 15 girls |
| on the JV team. |
| “I am most excited to see our ladies succeed! They have worked so hard and have really |
| made a name for themselves. They have earned the respect from other teams and have |
| represented Glenbard South in a positive way,” Coach Roy said. |
| Furthermore, the teams have competed at Batavia High School and Crystal Lake Central |
| High School. Additionally, varsity and JV competed at Belvidere High School on Dec. 9 and |
| will compete at Huntley High School on Jan. 7. Also, conference will be held on Monday, |
| Jan. 15, at Chicago Christian High School and sectionals will be held on Saturday, Jan. 20, |
| at Geneva High School. |
| “As a team this year, we are striving to create a new blend between veteran members and |
| incoming freshmen in order to go to state in 2A,” senior captain Grace Drinane added. |
| The varsity dance team has been performing two unique routines this season. A lyrical and |
| a pom routine. Pom routines are fast paced dances that incorporate pom-poms. In addition, |
| a lyrical routine is similar to ballet but it allows more freedom of expression through fluid |
| movements. The lyrical routine has been to Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding in Love” and the pom |
| routine has been to Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone”. |
| “I am so proud of this program and team,” said Roy. “The girls have really worked hard to |
| accomplish their goals, and it is very exciting to see them succeed. |
