This is a group of dancers at DancEnergy who help our Dance teams to be successful recreational dancers. The following are the dancers that are a part of the DancEnergy Collaborative and the responsibilities they have agreed to uphold as a part of the collaborative.
Camryn Santiago, Danielle Sullivan, Pam Quinn, Colleen Barter, Cyndi Milne, Isabel Sweeney
The members of the DancEnergy Collaborative:
- Can be leaders of the Dance Teams
- Can be in charge backstage at competitions when the dancers are getting ready (can give direction with make up, hair, costumes, and any dance team rules including the use of cell phones)
- Can help choreograph team and solo routines
- Can be in charge of practices and team events should Lisa not be available
- Can be there to support the teams
It is agreed that the members of the Collaborative will not deal with any parent issues. All parents should address their concerns to Lisa only. All dance team members will be told of Dance Team rules and will know that those who are a part of the Collaborative have been asked to reinforce the rules. Changes to the DancEnergy Collaborative can be made throughout the dance season and all changes will be shared with the team members and their families as they occur.
