Students must audition for the Dance Team and must be at least an intermediate to advanced dancer in multiple disciplines.  This team emphasizes in Jazz, Lyrical and Hip Hop, but a background in Ballet is essential.  The Dance Team performs at 4 weekend competitions, primarily in Spring, as well as their annual Dance Team Show in May.  Students not only perform the latest styles of choreography, but get a chance to choreograph their own pieces for the show.  This includes editing music, lighting design and costuming.  Dance Team meets during 6th period throughout the school year and counts as a fine arts class during the Junior and Senior Years  (and meets the PE requirements for Freshman/Sophomores).

The Dance Team performs at pep rallies, school events, Varsity Football and Basketball games.  The PVHS Dance Team has won 1st place at many competitions and special awards such as "Best Performance", "Highest score Hip Hop and Jazz", "Best Costume" and "Best Energy".

**Important:  Anyone who makes the Dance Team must attend camp for one week in August (usually 2nd week in August, exact dates for 2012 tbd)
