Pahrump Junior Dance Camp Raises Funds, Builds School Spirit
The Pahrump Valley High School Trojanettes will host a junior dance camp on January 16, 2026, inviting children ages 5 to 14 to learn routines, gain confidence, and perform at a halftime show. The event doubles as a fundraiser to support Trojanettes season expenses, with registration details and a cash only fee that residents should note.
Pahrump Valley High School will open its Pathways Gym on Friday January 16, 2026, for the PVHS JR Trojanette Dance Camp, a community fundraiser organized by the Trojanettes dance team. The camp runs from 4 30 p.m. to 7 30 p.m. and is open to children ages 5 to 14. For a $35 per dancer registration fee paid in cash only, participants will receive a dance T shirt and the chance to rehearse a routine alongside high school team members.
Organizers plan a community showcase to highlight the campers efforts. Participants will present what they learned during a special halftime performance scheduled for Friday January 23 at 6 30 p.m. The performance offers family members and local residents an opportunity to see the dancers on a public stage while supporting local school activities.
This camp serves dual purposes for the local community. It functions as a youth development activity that introduces basic choreography, coordination and confidence building for younger students. It also acts as a revenue stream to cover season expenses for the Trojanettes program. Reliance on fundraisers for extracurricular costs is common in rural districts, making community participation important to sustaining programs that contribute to school culture and student engagement.
The camp registration is available online or by contacting Coach Cunningham at jcunningham@nyeschools.org. Parents and guardians should note the cash only policy when preparing to register, and plan ahead to ensure equitable access for families who may not carry cash. Local school leaders and district officials may wish to review payment options and fundraising practices to ensure inclusivity and transparency in how extracurricular programs are financed.
By combining performance opportunity with fundraising, the Trojanettes initiative aims to strengthen ties between the high school team and younger residents, encourage school spirit across age groups, and help underwrite the costs of maintaining a competitive and active dance program.
