Introducing Dance Dragons!
Get ready to ignite the spirit and rhythm of SMOS – because the very first Dance Dragons team is here! We’re launching this as a pilot program and can’t wait to bring the energy, confidence and joy of dance to our students.
Dance Dragons, led by Susie Newsham and Kristen Borgmeyer, is all about creating a positive, uplifting dance experience for every participant. Our goal is to show students how dance can bring people together, build confidence and give them a fun outlet for creative expression. We’ll teach age-appropriate, high-energy choreography in an encouraging environment where dancers can try new things, support one another and feel proud of what they create as a team. Above all, Dance Dragons is a place to move, express, grow – and have a great time doing it!
THE DETAILS
- WHO: We’re accepting 24 dancers – 8 students from 4th, 8 students from 5th, and 8 students from 6th – plus 4 Dance Captains from 7th–8th grade. No experience needed – just enthusiasm! Eventually we’d like to add more dancers and grades following what we think will be a successful pilot (and recruitment of more volunteers!)
- WHERE: Dance Dragons will perform at various sports and school events. Practices are Tuesdays from 4:30–5:45pm in the school cafeteria.
- WHEN: Practices are Tuesdays, 4:30-5:45pm, January 6 through March 10. Performance schedule to come.
- HOW MUCH: There is no cost to participate. But we are looking into T-Shirts. Please Venmo $20 for team shirts to @susannewsh.

Coach Susie and Kristen are thrilled to share their love of dance with our new team. If you’d like to volunteer, contact Susie at 314-972-2550.
