This dancer has been on the dance team since her freshman year and we knew right away that she would be a remarkable young woman. From the start of her dance career, it was clear that she would be one of our strongest and most committed dancers. Throughout her years in the dance program, she has always looked for ways to improve and progress her dance abilities. There has never been a task that was too difficult for her to accomplish. Her dedication to not only her team but the entire dance program has been unmatched. She possesses excellent leadership skills and is always willing to assist her teammates with learning new choreography for each dance. As a captain, her commitment to her team has been unwavering. She is early to every practice and is always willing to go above and beyond, especially to help her team and coaches. Her personality, demeanor, and sense of humor have made it an absolute pleasure to have her on the team. This year’s Most Valuable Player Award goes to Senior and Captain, Cassandra McMillan.
