Goals
To create a fun, collaborative and hard working environment for young dancers to grow, gain experience, develop content and make friends. The crew focuses on advanced level dance training, teamwork and community engagement.
Culture
We operate with a no hierarchy mentality. Although there are directors to lead the group, each dancer is viewed as an equal contributor with a voice. Rehearsals are fast paced and require energy, stamina and teamwork.
Team Captains
Team captains are dedicated dancers who serve in leadership roles and support the team. They assist with warm ups, help communicate information, post rehearsal videos and contribute to cleaning routines. They help maintain a fun and safe environment for all members.
Captain selection process:
• All dancers audition in the same format
• Selected candidates participate in an interview with the director
• Captains must have completed more than one Academy season
Dancers interested in being a team captain should speak directly with the director.
Important Notice
We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or misleading behavior. Everyone is treated fairly and with respect. We share a common space built on honesty and integrity. Failure to meet these expectations may lead to consequences including removal from activities, meeting with a parent and discontinuation of the season.
We are a dance family in this community and every member should feel validated and respected, no matter their background.
