Olivia Montoni - Most Improved Player - JV Dance Team
From the beginning of the winter season to the last competition, the team had improved overall on technique, teamwork, and showmanship. We were fortunate enough to see the girls grow as dancers and as a team. This one dancer, in particular, had come a long way. At the beginning of the season, this girl was a bit timid to take initiatives such as leading stretches, giving critiques, or suggestions. But as the team got closer and the coaches needed the support of the team, this girl came out of her shell. Her techniques improved week by week and she wasn’t afraid to lead the team by giving pep talks, suggesting changes to routines, and stepping into more routines when needed. We are so proud to recognize Oliva Montoni with the Most Improved Award.
