Jesse Polewchak – Varsity Dance Coach
Coach P’s Coaching Philosophy…
- Creating strong, healthy dancers who work hard and have fun is a top priority.
- Strong foundational skills in dance technique and overall fitness are essential for performance, injury prevention, and long-term growth.
- Trusting relationships between dancers and coaches are essential to growth and success.
- As a team, everyone is expected to give their best and put it all out on the floor every time we dance.
- Effort, accountability, and consistency matter more than perfection.
- A supportive atmosphere allows dancers to take risks, learn, and grow with confidence.
- Teamwork, respect, and kindness are valued just as highly as technical skill.
- Coaching focuses on the whole dancer- physically, mentally, and emotionally.
- Dancers are encouraged to support one another and celebrate both individual and team achievements.
- Growth is built through challenge, reflection, and resilience.
Mary Kate Naylor – Varsity Dance Assistant Coach
Coach MK’s Coaching Philosophy…
- Strong foundations first: Physical strength and proper technique are the building blocks of well-rounded, confident dancers.
- Team above self: Dancers are expected to put the needs of the team before their own desires and contribute a culture of trust, accountability, and support.
- Commitment to excellence: I will hold dancers to a high standard both in the dance room and in their actions outside of it.
- Positive environment: I work to create a supportive, encouraging space where dancers feel motivated to grow.
- Joy is essential to success: Dance team should be fun and I will work to help make it both a memorable and rewarding experience for everyone.
