Even though their last season ended in disappointment, the Spartan Dance team is optimistic about the upcoming season. Last year the team finished in second place at a section meet, but a miscommunication led to the team not competing in further competition. Still, the team looks to focus on the main goal of any sport: having fun. “This year it seems like it is going to be a lot more fun and just for the love of dance instead of to win,” junior captain Jessica Wen said. The  team is much smaller than years before but they are still focused and ready to have a good time. The team performs during halftime at basketball games along with other competitions against other schools.
