Bayport-Blue Point High School has launched a brand-new competitive dance team this year, founded by teachers Kristen Rang and Bailey Whitney. Created in response to a passion for dance and athletic performance among BBP students, the team provides dancers with a new opportunity to grow their skills, compete and showcase their talents.
As a newly established team, members have begun fundraising efforts to help offset the costs of competition fees, uniforms and performance costumes. One of their first fundraisers invited students from Universal Pre-K through fifth grade to participate in a three-day dance workshop with the team.
During the event, younger students, wearing “Future BBP Dancer” t-shirts, learned a fun routine alongside the BBP Dance Team and performed together at the varsity basketball game on Jan. 14. The fundraiser included two energetic practices filled with dancing, learning and excitement, giving younger participants the chance to connect with and be inspired by the high school dancers while supporting the team’s continued growth and success.
