Performance Team

Designed for our dancers who want extra performance opportunities throughout the year!

We separate our team into 6 smaller teams, determined by style, age, maturity, experience, and skill. 

These teams include:

Senior Jazz (Formally "Pink"): Ages 14+

Teen Jazz (Formally "Teal"):  Ages 12+

Junior Jazz (Formally "Lavender"):  Ages 10+

Mini Jazz (Formally "Purple"):  Ages 7+

Gold Irish Step:  Ages 11+

Silver Irish Step:  Ages 5+

Note:  Class capacity is a major factor!  Students will move up when there is room in the next level, not necessarily when they reach that age.
