ABOUT THE EAGLETTES

"Never miss a rainbow because you are looking down."

The purpose of the Olathe North Eaglette Dance Team is to...
...build a sense of community, cooperation, and teamwork within our constantly changing group of diverse, high school dancers.
...use the art of dance to show our school spirit, represent ourselves, our parents, our directors, and our school.
...build a sense of unconditional belonging and acceptance.
...foster a development of each member's abilities, talents, and strengths through a challenging and motivating environment that never intimidates.
...help members set individual and team goals, reach them, and surpass them.
...make members accountable for their actions, both good and bad.
...help build character traits of integrity, discipline, honesty, and self-worth within each member.
...grow as dancers and as young women.
...always leave them wanting more and never mistake an award for that "feeling" in our heart.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
...strive to create a dance team that is always positive, uplifting, and one that we are proud to be a part of.
