A passion for dance...cougar style
Franklin High School is proud of its outstanding dance program. There are four levels of Dance at Franklin, Dance I, II, III, IV where Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Tap, and Social Dance are all covered within the different classes.
Franklin also offers a Ballroom course where students learn the basics of social/partner dance along with the fundamentals of jazz and ballet. Specific social dances that are covered are cha cha, rumba, swing, waltz, foxtrot, and tango.
Franklin is proud to have two performing dance groups, Fusion Dance and Forte Ballroom Team. Auditions for both groups are held the spring of the prior year. Incoming freshmen through seniors are welcomed to audition for either group. Both performing groups perform at school pep rallies, school sporting events, various school functions, various events around El Paso including dance showcases and competitions, and our big spring performance. Fusion's repertoire includes various styles of dance including Jazz, Lyrical, Modern, Hip Hop, Ballet, Musical Theater, and Contemporary. Forte focuses primarily on the various styles of Ballroom and Latin dance. All dances that Fusion and Forte performs for a specific performance are by audition.
