Lydia Quiring is an English teacher at SCHS for ninth grade and is also the dance coach for SCHS. When tryouts were held from March twenty-ninth through April first, there were multiple criteria considered in all of the participants trying out. These criteria included; teacher evaluations, technique, group performance, individual performance, answers to a question, facial expressions, eye contact, and poise. Since it was Coach Quiring’s first year as the dance coach she is looking forward to incorporating some new activities next year. Coach Quiring plans on working to improve technique and athletic performance with additional practices and conditioning. A goal for the dance team that has not been done in a few years is to be a part of a competition.
