You've never been on a dance team or competed? That is not a problem! We all start somewhere and at different ages. Its all about following your passion and love for dance. Its about learning new ways to tell poetic and dramatic stories with your physical movements and expressions. Its about having faith in your self, building confidence, and finding a bond with dancers that become your dance family throughout the journey. And mostly, its about having fun with your teammates and making memories you'll take with you forever.
