“If you want to get active, and have fun for sure join Dance Club,” said sophomore Bella Krug-Wagner, Vice President of Best Buddies, at the Best Buddies meeting on Tuesday morning, October 10th in the South campus computer lab.

Dance Club is run by students senior Aleah Travers, President of Best Buddies, and sophomore Bella Krug-Wagner, Vice President of Best Buddies, and teacher advisor, Kim Dion.

This “high-energy,” according to Krug-Wagner, club meets at the South campus cafeteria on Wednesdays from 2:45-3:45pm. They started meeting last week.

Any Arrowhead student, including kids with disabilities, can join. All you have to do is fill a permission slip, which you can get in the office or email to Dion, pay the fee and join.

If students have signed up on the Best Buddies Google Classroom, then the following Wednesday, they can head to the South campus cafeteria with tennis shoes and athletic clothes.

The students run the dances mainly, but the school says every club needs a teacher advisor, to make sure the dances are appropriate for a school club to be representing the school.

Dance Club, sponsored by Best Buddies, is a great way to meet new people in the Best Buddies club and to have fun with the old friends. It is a way to get out and get active with friends and buddies from the Best Buddies club. The reason that Dance Club exists is to get everyone together and help friendships kickoff and continue to grow, says Travers.

According to Krug-Wagner, it is a real treat for everyone to be able to get together, goof around, and not have to worry about schoolwork.

When now senior Travers was a freshman, this club was started by a group of senior girls, and when she heard about it she was “very quick” to join, and by her sophomore year she was a choreographer for the dances.

Dance club practices every week, which means learning one or two dances, so that they can be ready for the performances they are a part of, which include dancing at a couple basketball games at Arrowhead and performing in the Arrowhead Best Buddies talent show on February 23rd in the North campus theatre.

Krug-Wagner joined when she was a freshman and said “you bet I was signing up again this year.”

Travers agrees saying that she is glad so continued Dance Club when the founders of the club graduated. She was worried because last year they did not have very many new members, which made it hard to decide if they wanted to keep the club going.

“But this year was great, we had so many new members and it is going to continue to grow I feel like,” said Travers.
