SPIRIT TEAM is for dancers who display Slide spirit and a passion for dance. These dancers also display a basic understanding of hip hop technique and a desire to learn ballet/modern. If chosen for this team it means we see the potential in your child and want them to get this experience as have additional training with like minded dancers. This team starts your dancer on a different path than our normal recreational program. Spirit Team does community performances, festivals, parades, halftime shows, etc. Dancing on spirit team for a year or two doesn't guarantee that you will be moved up. NEW this year spirit team will compete in at least 2 competitions and will perform in our 2024-25 end of season recital!
IGNITE is for dancers that show a strong passion for dance while displaying good hip hop and ballet/modern technique. These dancers display Slide Spirit and bring great energy and excitement to class, but may need to simply sharpen their technique. Dancers chosen for this team have shown us some spark/passion. They shine in our recreational class and show a great deal of growth. Overall, these dancers show that they want to go the more competitive route or at least take dance more serious. This team competes in 4 competitions, 2 conventions and performs in our 2024-25 end of season recital!
BLAZE is our highest level competition team. This team of dancers display a high level of technique in a variety of styles. These dancers, often prior to auditioning, take multiple classes and are technically strong in a variety of styles (mainly hip hop, ballet, and modern), are positive, display a highly love of passion and self motivation for dance, and a great deal of Slide spirit. This team competes at 4 competitions, 2 conventions and performs in our 2024-25 end of season recital!
