Dance Team Technique
Take your dance team skills to the next level in this high-energy class designed for experienced teen and senior dancers preparing for high school, college, or competitive dance teams. Dancers will focus on precision pom technique, game day performance quality, sharp motions, jumps, kick technique, and the execution of advanced tricks commonly seen on today’s dance teams.
Class curriculum includes training in head springs, 540s, kip-ups, aerial progressions, and other advanced acro skills, along with the turns, leaps, and technical combinations expected at collegiate auditions. Dancers will also learn authentic NCAA Division I-style turn sequences, sideline choreography, gameday material, and performance skills that build confidence for tryouts and performances.
This class is taught by Caroline Kelley, an ESDA alum and former member of the West Virginia University Hip Hop Dance Team, which earned 2nd Place at the NDA National Championships. Caroline brings firsthand collegiate dance team experience and a passion for helping dancers develop the technique, power, and performance quality needed to excel at the next level.
Recommended for experienced teen and senior dancers with prior jazz and acro training.
