Start by talking to the advisor of the praise dance team. S/he would be the best person to know what you should do. And it's also possible that s/he would be willing to supervise another team or broaden the purpose of the original one. If s/he can't do it, that teacher would be the best person to know the interests of the other staff members and could refer you to someone else.
Would you be the choreographer/ teacher of the group? Whoever takes this role, it's a really tough one to do in a school setting where many of the potential team members have very little dance training. There is a pressure to try to find routines that both the best and worst dancers can do, and it's almost an impossible job. The team members with little dance training don't really understand how much work goes into all those years of dance training and they think it is easy. So they also don't understand the casting process, with the better parts going to better dancers, and they threaten to quit. The friction builds in the group and it is so easy for it to fall apart. This pressure is a lot to take on for a fellow student.
In many ways, you'd be better off finding a competition dance studio to join, along with these other students, and let THAT teacher deal with the casting decisions.

Find practice space and secure it for your group.
Find some funds to buy a boombox, unless you have the music available in the room.
Decide when are you going to do your first performance, aim for that goal. Advertise within school.
