Goals
To create a fun, collaborative and hard-working environment for aspiring commercial dancers to grow, gain experience, develop quality content and appeal to the masses. The team will focus on professional-level dance training, teamwork and community engagement.
Culture
We have a no hierarchy mentality! Although there are directors to lead the group, each dancer should be viewed as equal contributors with a voice. Rehearsals are fast-paced and require energy, stamina and teamwork!
