Competition and Performance Teams
At HSPA, we offer multiple types of teams depending on which style(s) of dance your dancer is interested in taking to the competative/performance level. Please read below for more information on our offerings:
Jazz/Contemporary/Lyrical
Acro Teams

Continue to build on the drills and skills as practiced in our recreational classes, while also combining those maneuvers into a dance to be competed at our studio competitions and recital for the season. The ultimate combination of acrobatic artistry and dance!

Performance Teams
Designated Team class hours are focused on a wide variety of dance education. Students are immersed in a comprehensive curriculum designed to enhance their skills across all styles and disciplines, including ballet, lyrical, contemporary, and jazz. Each class emphasizes the development of fundamental techniques such as jazz basics, leaps, and turns, as well as overall strength, flexibility and conditioning. Additionally, dancers have the opportunity to build the ability to quickly learn and retain choreography as each team prepares a jazz and lyrical/contemporary dance to compete at our chosen competitions for the season.
Performance quality is also a key component, with special attention given to theatrical presentations - especially at local fundraising/community events as well as holiday showcases. Beyond technical skill, being part of the team fosters valuable life-lessons in camaraderie, leadership, and the formation of lasting friendships.

Tap Teams
Tap on over to one of our competitive tap teams where dancers take their tap training to the next level in the combination of new, challenging tap steps with dance. Dancers are challenged not only in learning a competitive tap piece, but also integrating performance quality in both the use of their arms and facial expressions to enhance the piece to a "tap dance." Dive into the world of tap with rhythmic sounds, syncopated patterns, new tricks, and so much more!
