Connally HS Dance Teams

Mrs. Agrait is a proud Army wife and a mother of 2.  She was born in Houston and raised in Round Rock, where she found her love of dance & drill team.  She was Captain of her middle school drill team, the C.D. Fulkes Steppers; Major of her high school drill team, the Round Rock Dragonettes; and Lieutenant of her college dance team, the Texas State Strutters.  

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Dance from Texas State and a teaching certification in Dance for grades 6-12.  

Over the past decade, Mrs. Agrait taught at North Shore Senior HS in Houston, at Holmes High School HS in San Antonio and at East Austin College Prep in Austin.  Under her direction, her teams have earned many awards and several students have become successful in the world of dance.  

Mrs. Agrait & her family recently returned from a 2-year tour in South Korea.  Now that she has found a home at CHS, she is excited to share her mission to transform students into passionate & productive young adults through the love of dance. 

 Mekenzie Wooten is an Austin native who was raised in Taylor, Texas, where her passion for dance began at just three years old. With a background in competitive dance, high school drill team, collegiate dance, and performance, she has spent much of her life learning, growing, and finding new ways to share her love for the art of dance with others.

Mekenzie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dance Education from Texas Tech University in May 2023. Throughout her collegiate career, she explored various dance styles, choreography, performance, and dance education while remaining actively involved in campus organizations, including Chi Tau Epsilon and Vitality Dance Company. Her experiences as both a performer and educator have shaped her approach to teaching, leadership, and student development.

Now in her fourth year in Pflugerville ISD and serving as the Assistant Dance Director at Connally High School, Mekenzie is passionate about creating an environment where students are challenged to grow, encouraged to express themselves, and supported in becoming confident, accountable, and well-rounded individuals. She believes dance is about more than technique and performance; it is an opportunity to build discipline, resilience, teamwork, and lifelong skills that extend far beyond the studio. She enjoys assisting the Varsity Stars Dance Team, coaching the Emeralds JV Dance Team and working with the dance classes! 

Outside of the dance studio, Mekenzie enjoys spending time with her husband, James, her high school sweetheart. They are excited to welcome their first child in 2027. Mekenzie is grateful for the opportunity to invest in the Connally community and looks forward to continuing to grow as an educator, mentor, and leader alongside her students.
