The Powerhouse Performance Team is a dynamic dance program designed for dancers who thrive on stage and seek additional opportunities beyond weekly classes, all without the full commitment of competitive dance. Intended for dancers ages 5 and up, this performance team offers real-world performance experiences that enhance confidence, technique, teamwork, and stage presence. Participants can look forward to community performances, sporting events, parades, conventions, and special events, where they cultivate valuable experience and share in the excitement of teamwork. The 2026–2027 season begins on August 10, 2026, and invites dancers aged 5 and older to explore their passion for dance, develop their skills, and forge lasting friendships while being a part of this enriching dance program.

Why We Created Performance Team

However, many still seek opportunities to perform, grow, and be part of a community that extends beyond a weekly class. Our performance team was established to bridge the gap between recreational dance and competition dance. This dynamic dance program allows dancers to: ✓ Gain valuable performance experience ✓ Build confidence on stage ✓ Develop teamwork and leadership skills ✓ Participate in exciting community performances throughout the year ✓ Enjoy the benefits of team membership without the pressures of competition. The performance team is ideal for dancers who love to showcase their skills and desire additional opportunities to flourish as artists and individuals in a supportive environment.
