    Eden Prairie High School names new dance coach

    EPLN Staff ReportsBy EPLN Staff ReportsApril 15, 20252 Mins Read

    Alyssa Brix has been named the new head coach of the Eden Prairie High School Dance Team, the school’s Student Activities Office announced Tuesday.

    She replaces Caitlin Rogotzke, who resigned this winter after coaching the program for the past three seasons.

    “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Coach Brix,” said Eden Prairie Activities Director Joe Perkl in the announcement. “Her deep knowledge of both kick and jazz, combined with her ability to create and model high-level choreography, makes her a standout addition to our dance program. Her natural leadership will inspire and ignite our dancers to reach new heights.”

    Brix, a Sartell native, began dancing competitively through the St. Cloud School of Dance and was a four-year member and senior captain of the Sartell Sabre Dance Team. During her high school years, she helped earn two state high kick titles and contributed to the growth of the program’s jazz division.

    She went on to dance at the University of St. Thomas, where she competed in both hip hop and jazz at the national level, earning two double national championships. Those experiences, Brix said, motivate her to provide similar opportunities to her athletes.

    “Humbled is a word that comes to mind when thinking about becoming head coach of this program,” Brix said in the release. “I am elated and honored to have been chosen, and will give the Eden Prairie families my best every day. Time to get to work Eagles!”

    Brix previously served as an assistant coach for Eden Prairie’s varsity team for two seasons and has also led workshops and private lessons for young dancers. Outside of coaching, she works as a certified public accountant at Medtronic and enjoys spending time outdoors with her rescue dog, Teddy.

    An open house for fifth- through 11th-grade dance families to meet Brix and the fall Eden Prairie Performance Team coaches will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, April 28, in the EPHS dance studio.
