Troupe

This semester was rough and winter break is much needed. Not only was I busy with school work, but I had rehearsals almost every night since August. I am a captain of the dance team at Manhattanville: Dance Troupe.

I have been on the team since freshman year and was appointed captain my Junior year. It was an honor to be appointed that title and I have had a blast this year. My team consists of 12 girls. We compete in competitions and dance at school events and sports games. Last year, we competed at 2 competitions. At one competition, we left with a first and third place trophy. At the second competition we left with two first place trophies and a bid for nationals. I was also offered a job with the NDA (National Dance Association) based on my performance at the competition.


Not only do we dance, but starting this year we have branched out into hosting our own events. We hosted a Sadie Hawkins in October that was a huge success! President Burman attended along with so many other students! We had a dj, fancy lights and refreshments. Everyone looked classy and danced the night away.


I am so proud of my team and would not trade them for anything. We have the best times and work so well together.
