The WBHS Dance team has been working hard this season with their routines and trying to fundraise. The girls have been trying to raise money for a field trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida in late November.
Why is it important: The team won a bid to dance at Disney during their summer camp with NDA at ECU.
- “Over the years, I feel that because of the team bonding and fundraising we’ve done, it’s brought us closer as a team and as a family,” said senior Grace Gundrum.
Zoom out: Dance is a good way to get out of your comfort zone, travel, and learn new things.
- “Dance is a way that you can express yourself and be more involved in school and your community,” said senior Addi Hardee. “We attend camps over the summer and learn from professionals, so we can apply it to our dances later on.”
Zoom in: The WBHS dance team is fundraising to go to Disney World in November. The girls will be marching in the Thanksgiving parade and maybe participating in a competition. Parts of dances they learned over the summer and through the beginning of school will be put together for smaller performances in the parade.
- ‘We’ve been trying to get this idea together for some time now and we’re really excited now that it’s happening,” said senior Addi Hardee.
The WBHS dance team has been doing fundraising for a couple of weeks now and already has a good start. They are selling raffle tickets, doing car washes, and setting up at different restaurants to help bring money into the program. The dance team’s goal is to raise roughly $12,000, and they’ve already made a good start with around $8,000 raised.
