Amarillo ISD Dance Program

Amarillo ISD Dance Program focuses on the development and awareness of body movement, anatomy, and fitness while participating in a variety of dance styles. By mastering movement principles and skills, students develop self-discipline, improved concentration, better posture, strength, flexibility, and all-around healthy bodies that move expressively, efficiently, and safely through space and time with controlled energy. Students will also learn the cultural and historical context of dance as a creative and expressive art form.

Each AISD High School has a competitive dance team that performs and entertains at campus and athletic events, including half-time shows during the football season and campus pep-rallies. Dance teams also perform at concerts and dance competitions both local and state. Participation in AISD dance teams is by tryouts in the spring and includes a commitment to summer camp as well as activities and competitions during the school year.
