For spring sports at Potomac, many people do not feel like they have an option they are excited about. I feel that we need to add a dance class as an athletic option. 8 out of 10 private schools in this area have a dance team/dance class. Dance not only improves academics, but also other sports and lifestyles. Steve McLendon, a Steelers player, says that ballet has prevented injuries by strengthening his joints and muscles. Dance allows for a creative, expressive outlet and gives kids more confidence. Dancing is so good for children, and clearly most people understand this. Having a dance class at Potomac will benefit kids by giving them a fun athletic option as well as helping them with their academics and other sports.

I have been hearing from so many of you about how much a dance program would mean for our school community. It is honestly overwhelming to realize how many people share this hope. I am currently working on putting together a proposal to present to the administration based on all your thoughtful input.

I wouldn't do this but it seems amazing for those who want to express themselves
PLEASE!! I am so tired of the same old gym options. Dance would be way more fun.
My sister loves dance and Potomac really needs to catch up with the other schools in the area. Make it happen!
yes yes yes! This is NEEDED for IS and hopefully we can get it for this upcoming season!
Honestly having to pick a sport I dont even like is the worst part of spring. Dance would be so much better for a lot of us.
Good luck

Great opportunity for students who have a passion and interest in dance. Great alternative option in the athletic program.
