The Green Oaks Dance Company was started in 2015 by Mrs. Shannon Ali. The company is made up high school males and females. They learn various styles of dance including ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap. They have performed at several places such as a professional basketball game, the Red River Revel, local churches, and school events. The dancers have won numerous awards at the State Fair competition over the past three years, and they are preparing for more competitions this year.  The Green Oaks Dance hosts mini camps for elementary and middle school students in the community to raise money. The company has its annual dance recital at Green Oaks in April. The mission for the company is to not only develop great dancers but to also develop great people! They achieve this by teaching life skills classes in addition to dance classes.
