Jasmines first year on the team has really impacted
her, showing her to humble and to never take things
for granted. Jasmine is personally excited for state
because it’s a new experience, but she’s ready to put in
the work. “The PAC has honestly changed me
completely, because i have never conditioned this
hard before.”, says jasmine. To her, this team is a
blessing and she loves being around the positive vibes.
Jasmine is very thankful for the opportunity.
Carlos Quihuis
Senior
The past three years on this team have been life
changing, health wise and confidence wise, for Carlos.
The team has shown him a lot of discipline, time
management skills, and it has pushed him to new limits.
Carlos said, “It’s sad going into my last year of state. Even
after all this time the nerves still get to me. It is going to
be hard coming off of the stage.” Lastly, Carlos
mentioned, “I don’t plan to be dancing professionally
after high school but dance will always be with me.”
Preparing For State
Preparing for State takes endless nights and
creates so much stress. Lopez says, “I don’t sleep
at all because I'm choreographing and studying.
I'm listening to music, and I'm always changing
things.” For the team, it’s 24/7 practice. “What
people don’t see is how many hours the team is
putting into practicing for state.”, Says Lopez.
It took three years to get to where the team was
the first time they won. The first group worked
very hard, with discipline and structure. It was a
lot of growing. Every team that follows looks up
to them.
