Ellie Hoppe: Dance Team

Junior Ellie Hoppe has been on the dance team since it was created 5 years ago. Now as the new captain of the team, she has exciting goals to accomplish. This year she plans to have two teams instead of one, which will allow the girls with different levels of ability to compete at a more suitable level for their individual ability. “With the two teams, the girls that aren’t as advanced won’t be expected to compete at such a high level and the girls that are able to perform at the higher level will be able to do so,” said Hoppe. Hoppe’s biggest goal is to “get an announced placement at a meet and beat all of their previous scores.” In order to reach the team’s goal, the length of practices are longer and more frequent which will also allow the team to bond more.
