Petey from the Streets: Fired up w/ the Firebirds

Episode 3: “Dance Class Takeover”

Scene: Local fitness center, where a Zumba class is in session. Petey bursts in wearing a Firebirds uniform and a headband, looking out of place but excited.

Petey: "Hey, Wake County! It’s Petey from the Streets, and I’m here to lead today’s Zumba class with a Firebirds twist!"

(He grabs the microphone from the instructor and begins to dance. The class looks confused but intrigued.)

Petey: "Alright, everyone! Let’s shimmy like we’re dodging defenders! And salsa like we’re scoring those touchdowns!"

(Enter Firebirds dancers, who join in and help Petey. The class begins to follow, caught up in the fun.)

Dancer: "You’re doing great, Petey! Just don’t forget to breathe!"

Petey: "Breathe? That’s for the weak! Let’s get those hearts pumping, Firebirds style!"

📣Calling All Firebirds: Fan Satisfaction Survey!

We really appreciate any and all survey participation, as the results will be invaluable in creating the best possible fan experience for our 2026 season and beyond!
