There was a meeting after school  yesterday in the cafeteria regarding the formation of a new club created by seniors Erin Yasick and Devin Merz–the dance crew.

The idea of the crew is to get all different kinds of people to come and dance. Anyone from any grade can join. Meetings are held every Tuesday and Thursday for rehearsal after school.

“A lot of high schools do something similiar to this, but ours never has” Yasick said.

She explained that she recently quit dancing for a competitive team due to a rude dance teacher, but they wanted to keep dance in their life, which is why they came up with the high school dance crew.

The dancing will be similar to jazz and hip-hop, although it is not confined to a specific genre. The estimated time of each practice will be an hour and a half, but Yasick and Merz do not have strict rules regarding how long the practices will go on.

Those who join will be placed into two groups: one that wants to be choreographed a dance routine for fun, and one that wants to audition to dance during halftime at basketball games.

“We’re going to make it last until basketball season is over, and if everyone likes it and has fun, we’ll keep it going longer than that” said Yasick. “Our main goal here is to just have fun.”
