Dynamic Dancers

By FARRAH PARK and SAMANTHA SCHROEDER

This year’s Jayettes are known for energizing the crowd and engaging the audience during halftime for fall and winter sporting events. With a squad composed of 3 seniors, 14 juniors, 9 sophomores and 5 freshmen, fans are sure to notice how much time and effort are put into each performance. 

Jericho High School dance teacher and Jayeetes coach Ms. Jenna Corbett is pleased with the team’s work ethic and determination. She said, “This year’s Jayettes are having a lot of fun. The team is full of energy and keeps things interesting. We have a great dynamic in the dance studio.”

Co-captain and senior Jade Leong is very proud of the team. She said, “Since we’re learning so many dances, we have to keep on going and be ready for every game .”

Co-captain and junior Sophia Liu agrees. She said, “Everyone has a very good time dancing together. We are very encouraging and supportive of each other.”

Co-captain and senior Samantha Sternick is impressed with the team’s liveliness. She said, “There’s lots of team spirit, and I feel like the girls are very sweet, and it’s nice to dance with them.”
