Elevate Your Dance Experience

Premier Dance is a competitive middle school dance team for grades 6th,7th and 8th, focused on dance team fundamentals preparing young athletes for all local high school dance teams and studio dance teams.

Our mission is to provide a place for dancers to learn respect for themselves and others, teamwork, and integrity. We want to bring open and fun coaches who will build a safe environment through patience and accountability. This team strives to provide dance education as a feeder program for all local high school teams, studio opportunities, and beyond.

Purpose:

The purpose of DTNW Performance Group, is to provide our most dedicated dancers with a well-rounded, professional dance experience. That experience includes these key elements: 

*Accelerated training: Group dancers learn their skills earlier, at an accelerated pace, and with higher standards of perfection. The mandatory technique class gives dancers the opportunity to develop their skills and technique while learning challenging choreography. 

*Additional performing opportunities: Dancers perform at 3 competitions and are invited to additional performance opportunities throughout the season.

*A family-like environment: DTNW STARS dancers perform age-appropriate dances and enjoy a sense of belonging to a team, which is critical to their social development at a time in their lives when friends are very important to them.  

Our main goal is to use dance as a vehicle to teach life lessons that will have value in any vocation our dancers may choose when they grow up.  Lesser goals include teaching them about all aspects of performing, helping them to become comfortable experiencing new things, guiding them in learning to set and work intelligently towards achieving their goals and encouraging them to compare themselves not to others, but to who they were yesterday!
