Sunset Dance Department

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW BISONETTE, AND BISON BELLES DIRECTOR!

Lizette Rivera is a DFW-based bilingual artist who works as an educator, dancer, choreographer, model, actress, and photographer. Having started dancing later in life and finding it challenging at first to fit in, Lizette is deeply passionate about supporting young dancers who are unsure of where to begin by providing them with a range of resources to aid their learning journey.

Her dance career began at Sunset High School, under the Direction of Mrs. Huggins, where she was a two-year member of the Bisonettes, serving as Social Officer her first year and Senior Lieutenant her Senior year, and also a two-year member of the Sunset Dance Company. While at Sunset, she was highly involved in the Academy of Finance, served as a Freshman Mentor, and was a member of the Student Council, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Club, and the Junior State of America Club.

Lizette is proficient in a variety of drill team styles as well as Hip-hop, Ballet, Salsa, and Modern dance. She has taught master classes and served as a guest choreographer throughout DFW. In addition to choreographing and volunteering at multiple Dallas ISD campuses, she interned with the Texas Dance Educators Association in 2022 and worked for Express Cheer in the summer of 2025.

She attended Trinity Valley Community College, and Texas Woman’s University where she earned an Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts and a Bachelors Degree in Dance with a Psychology minor . She was awarded dance scholarships and served as an internationally recognized Cardette and member of the TWU Pioneer Pride Dance Team.

She continued her professional career as a Texas Lonestar from 2023 to the present, where she currently serves as Head Captain.

This year, she completed her first year of teaching at Robert T. Hill Middle School, shifting the dance program in a positive direction in only one year.

Mrs. Huggins and Mrs. Armstrong are excited that Liz will be stepping into the role of drill team director. The Sunset community is thrilled to welcome another Bison Alumni back to the herd!
