Alice Dack graduated from Friendswood High School where
she was a 2-year officer of the National Champion
Wranglerettes. After high school, she became a "world
famous" Kilgore College Rangerette and the Head Swingster.
With the Rangerettes, Alice performed at the Cotton Bowl,
the Fiesta Bowl Parade, and traveled to Singapore to appear
in the traditional New Year festivities.
She finished her education at the University of North
Texas. While at UNT, Alice was selected to perform in the
nationally recognized ballet, "Vampire Follies",
choreographed by James Clouser, and the International
Choreography Festival in Portugal. She earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Dance and graduated with honors. During
college she taught at Talent ‘N More dance studio in
Richardson and worked summer camps for Starmakers. She
started her teaching career in Lufkin, TX where she was the
director for the Lufkin High School Panther Pride Drill
Team. While in Lufkin, Alice and her team received multiple
awards, including Best Overall Choreography, Technique,
Presentation, and Most Admired Team and Director. In 2004,
the Panther Pride was named National Champions in Hip Hop
at the prestigious Contest of Champions in Orlando.
This is Alice’s fourth year with the Marquettes and she is
absolutely amazed at just how much they have grown. She is
honored to work with such amazing young women and their
supportive parents on a daily basis. One of Alice’s
favorite rewards as a teacher is watching her students
become successful in the world of dance. Her Captain from
2002, Kristen Bell, became the Captain of the Aggie Dance
team for 2 years. Her Captain, Sara Ormsby, and a senior,
Lexie Eppley, from 2003 became Swingsters and Lieutenants
of the Kilgore College Rangerettes. The following year, one
of Alice’s Lieutenants, Heather Sabo, from Lufkin made
Rangerettes, and the Captain at Lufkin for 2004, Rebecca
McIlveene, became a Swingster and was named Captain for the
Rangerettes in 2005. Two of her last officers at Lufkin
became Rettes for 2005-2007: Jessica Alverson and Lauren
Jacobs. Lauren was named Head Swingster and a Lieutenant.
Most recently, 4 Marquettes were named as Kilgore
Rangerettes: Capt. Sydney Nelms, Lt. Bree Matherne, Lt.
Rachel Miller, and Head Service Officer, Kelsey Dean. Alice
also claims an Apache Belle, a Texas State Strutter, and an
OSU Pom Squad member.
This is the 2nd year for Alice to work with the elite staff
of “Encore Creative Productions”, a new specialty summer
dance camp company created by the Assistant Director of the
Rangerettes, Mrs. Shelley Wayne and Lisa Fortenberry. Most
important in her life is Alice’s family: her loving
husband, Sonny, and beautiful daughter, Emma. Sonny is the
Head 9th grade Football coach for LHS North.
