Throughout the year, the Dynasty dancers perform for additional sporting events, appear at public events and school functions and travel for CAA and/or NCAA tournaments.

The purpose of the Monarch Dance Team is to show and promote school spirit for the various school sports and activities on campus as well as within the community. To promote a positive and safe environment where leadership and work ethics are enhanced in every dance member.
