McKinney Boyd HS offers Studio Dance & Aerobic Dance Classes for students who are interested in learning multiple genres of dance including ballet, jazz, tap, modern, & hip-hop, but are not ready to commit to the demands of dancing on the performance-based dance/drill team. These classes require minimal outside of school rehearsal and allow students the opportunity to gain foundational dance knowledge and skills.

The McKinney Boyd High School Bailadoras are the official dance/drill team of McKinney Boyd High School and are composed of Boyd’s most elite dancers. The Varsity Bailadoras under the direction of Caris Dunn and the JV Bailadoras are under the direction of Rachel Bowsher. The Bailadoras perform at all pep rallies and varsity football games, as well as several basketball games and events throughout McKinney. They also compete in the spring and put on a spectacular Spring Show.

The Bailadoras have competed at Nationals 7 times, winning National titles each time. In 2015, 2016, 2018, 2023, & 2025 they won Best of the Best Team as well as the Overall Grand National Champion Team & Officer titles!

​The Bailadoras also have the privilege of traveling out of state every other year and for their past few trips have performed in Disney World.

The team is very lucky to have such dedicated leadership and with the continued effort and hard work backed by an active and supportive parent group the team is poised to challenge new heights and records.

Being a Bailadora is a year-round commitment of long hours and complex routines and exacting standards, but the results reward everyone involved.

FUTURE BAILADORAS

The McKinney Boyd High School Bailadora Parent Organization, MBHS BPO, is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support the Bailadora organization.

The Bailadora website is www.boydbailadoras.com

Welcome to the McKinney Boyd High School Bailadora Parent Organization, MBHS BPO, a non-profit organization. The MBHS BPO Board of Directors would like to welcome both the new and returning families to the Bailadora organization!

We encourage your family to join in the spirit of the organization and participate in the various activities happening throughout the season. The success of our organization relies heavily on parental participation and accordingly, each participating Bailadora and Parent will be required to volunteer during the course of the season. This participation requirement can be fulfilled by performing one of many necessary functions including concessions, chaperoning, fundraising, hospitality, etc. If we can rely on our parent to commit just two hours to helping out, we can do amazing things for our girls, our school, and our organization.
