  WHEREAS,  Individual  and team championships are highly sought after

excellence and become examples for the youth of this great Empire State;
and

  WHEREAS, Athletic competition helps to enhance both  the  moral  and

instilling in them the importance of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, and developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative Body is justly proud to congratulate the
William Floyd High School  Varsity  Dance  Team  upon  the  occasion  of
capturing the Long Island Dance Team Association Competition in February

Rockettes throughout their journey as they ended their  season  with  an
impressive overall record; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Rockettes  began  their season with a return to their
annual Rockette Summer Camp, in which varsity team members  share  their
dance knowledge, creativity and choreography skills to teach routines to
local  children  between the age of six and 14; the camp culminates in a
performance showcase for family and friends, which is  a  highlight  for
the team each year; and

  WHEREAS, The Rockettes then returned to their roots and participated
in  the traditional seasons of performance including at all varsity home
football and basketball games, as well as special-event  performance  at
the  pep  rally  and  during halftime of the Suffolk County Championship
football game at Stony Brook University; and

  WHEREAS, In addition, the Rockettes joined in the annual  Mastics  &
Shirley  Christmas Parade where they received the Best Performance Award
by the Chamber of Commerce; and

  WHEREAS, In  a  sport  such  as  competitive  dance,  which  demands
athletic  prowess,  strength and agility, Advisors Lisa Taiani and Tiana
Necega have worked hard to hone the skills of  this  championship  team,
teaching  these outstanding athletes lessons which will prove invaluable
both on and off the mat; and

  WHEREAS, Advisors Lisa Taiani  and  Tiana  Necega  and  all  of  the
outstanding athletes on the William Floyd High School Varsity Dance Team

have   clearly   utilized  dedication,  determination  and  teamwork  in
providing a lasting contribution to the spirit of excellence which is  a
