Legacy

The goal of Skyline Dance Team is twofold: to develop a championship team and to build life skills & lifelong friendships. To achieve this, the team focuses on core covenants, the values that guide the goals of the team, and tradition. We are so happy to share what makes our team special, from the life lessons our alumni have taken away, to our team traditions!

TESTIMONIALS

Skyline Dance Team taught me the true meaning of teamwork. It taught me how powerful togetherness is in accomplishing a common goal, while also providing a safe space to grow both as individuals and as dancers!
Leah Favro, T4

I owe so much of my growth in my teenage years to this team. Summing up those four years of experience into words is something I’ve always struggled with. However, my biggest takeaway was the magic that can be made through inspiration, empowerment, passion, and drive. Through the leaders before me, those that led by my side, and the moments I was captain of Skyline’s team, I’ve have learned the true honor of being apart of something greater than yourself and the lessons we learn from each other are those that play the greatest to our successes in life. I am forever grateful to the magnificent coaches and even more so the beautiful dancers who believed in me most, that made my time on dance team the most rewarding experience of growing up.

TEAM TRADITIONS

Team Number: Each year, we assign a name to the team, which is reflected in the number of years Lauren has been our head coach. It is a fun tradition to help us build team identity! * = state championship team

T1 = Lauren’s first year as coach, 2014-2015
T2 = 2015-2016
T3 = 2016-2017
T4 = 2017-2018
T5* = First State Championship! 2018-2019
T6 = COVID year, 2019-2020
T7* = Lauren wins Coach of the Year! 2020-2021
T8* = 2021-2022
T9 = current year! 2022-2023

We try to incorporate the team number into many things, including our costumes! This photo is from Team 3, 2016-2017.

Wrist tradition: In 2018, Skyline’s head captain began a tradition where the competition jazz team wrote the team number on the wrist of each dancer before they took the competition floor. This tradition has continued and expanded since to the entire team, a symbol of what legacy each individual team is contributing to every year!
