SPX DORADOS DANCE TEAM
TEAM MOTTO: ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Head Coach: Isabelle Vigil
Tryouts for the 2022-2023 SPX Dorados are COMING UP! Check out the flyer below for information!
The St. Pius X Dorados Dance Team has garnered many awards, including second place in the 2021 4A NMAA State Spirit Competition, third place in the 2019 5A NMAA State Spirit Competition, second place in both the 2018 and 2017 5A NMAA State Spirit Competition, third place in the 2015 5A NMAA State Spirit Competition, and third place in the 2009 4A NMAA State Spirit Competition. At UDA summer dance camp in June 2018, the Dorados took 1st place in the High School Varsity Home Routine Competition and ten Dorados were named Universal Dance Association All Americans and were invited to perform in Rome on New Year's Day 2019. Eight of them were able to travel to Rome.
WE WIN MANY AWARDS, BUT OUR EMPHASIS IS ON THE SPX COMMUNITY!
The team, composed of students from grades 9-12, performs at all home varsity football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball games. The Dorados also dance at pep rallies, the Homecoming Parade, Hispanic Heritage Night, and at other SPX community events. Every December, the team puts on a huge Christmas Show. We would love to see you there!

The Dorados live by the creed “be involved” and the team tries to be involved in as many SPX events and activities as possible. They also support all other teams at the school by attending games and competitions as well as by providing Sartan Spirit gifts to all other athletes.
POM, JAZZ, LYRICAL, HIP HOP AND MORE
The coaches strive to give the dancers a well-rounded experience by exposing them to many different dance forms (pom, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, lyrical, etc.) and many different choreographers.

DORADO ACADEMICS
The Dorados routinely have approximately 70% or more of our team on the SPX Honor Roll. We have our own Honor Society called Sigma Delta, that is only for students who make First or Second Honors while on the team. On the Dorados, academics come FIRST!

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Our team motto is "Attitude of Gratitude." The Dorados believe in looking outward to the community around us rather than inward at ourselves. Every year we make blankets for the UNM Hospital Pediatric Oncology Unit. We work at many SPX community events and take part in numerous other Catholic, city, and service events. The Dorados also participate in fundraising for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We donated some of our proceeds from our 2018 Christmas Show to Pursonalities Plus, providing purses and needed personal items to women’s charities.
