Dear Dance Team Coach,

It's sometimes hard to think about what your team might need to get ready for competition when your season has just begun but in reality this is the best time to do just that.  Teams are already booking dates for routine cleaning before competitions and the POD has some great new classes to help bring your team to the next level. 

NEW THIS YEAR!

* Leaps, Turns, and Jumps class designed specifically for Rookie dancers and those looking to make your team in the future.  We know that often coaches take on team members that aren't quite ready to compete with the team but will hopefully be ready in the future.  Let us help them get there.

Class Time: Fridays 5:30-6:15pm  (Strength and Flexibility 5:00-5:30pm)

* Dance Team Technique class- yes, dance teams have their own specific technique.  And even those that have been dancing for years sometimes find it difficult to transition into the "dance team style".  If you ever find yourself wishing that a dancer would have stronger motions, cleaner kicks, move with more grace, dance with more showmanship, etc.  this class could be your answer.  We will take the time to get those dancers up to speed with the rest of your team.  Feel free to not only send us your dancers but let us know what you would like stressed in class.  

Class Time: Fridays 6:15-7:00pm

* Ballet Technique- This may be the only place where your dancers can take ballet for short periods at a time.  The basis of all dance, help them achieve those straight legs and stretched feet.  Placement, strength, and flexibility is also stressed.

Offered at MULTIPLE times.  Please see our schedule page.

WE ALSO OFFER...

1. Routine Cleaning- yes, there really is a way to make a good routine great. Sometimes it's not what you add but what you need to take away. Every competition we attend, we see great routines get passed up for awards due to lack of proper cleaning or misplaced choreography. If you already have a routine that you want to make great, consider having us in to help you achieve that goal. We will come to you for any amount of time you choose (min of 1 hour). Weekend practices work best. Sign up early for best time selections. Travel cost may apply.

2. Music Cutting- You won't find a better deal out there. Why go to a studio to get your music cut by a DJ that knows nothing about dance routines, when you can have it done for a third of the price by someone who not only choreographs but also sits in the judge's seat? We take great care in not only making the song very danceable but truly making it sound great. We can change tempo, pitch, blend, overlay, add beats/base/high hats/etc, add drop-ins, change the volume within the song, match tempos of different songs and more. References available upon request.

3.  Technique classes- we offer 2 incredible classes for students ALREADY ON or TRYING OUT for dance teams.  Strength and flexibility- offered 2 times a week at the studio-is just what it says. We work on the muscles needed for balance and proper execution of skills.  Leaps, Turns, and Jumps is offered at 2 levels (beginner/intermediate and intermediate/advanced). Both classes can be taken at the studio OR we can come to you (12 student minimum). Travel cost may apply.

*We can create a technique class specifically for YOUR team at our studio. Ask for details. (Dependent upon space availability)

 

 4.  TRYOUT PREP CLASSES: Again, our Technique classes provide excellent prep for students wanting to tryout for your team. Private lessons also available! Just send them in our direction! Our Friday technique class is specifically designed to prepare dancers for high school teams. We focus on flexibility, turns, leaps, jumps, and kick technique, as well as strength and sharpness.

 5.  Rent out the studio for your own weekend practice. We have 2 large dance studios for your use exclusively with open times available on both Saturdays and Sundays. Use our instructors for private coaching/routine cleaning at the same time for a discounted amount.

**Do 5 or more members of your team currently take classes at the POD? Ask about a discount.

 

6.  Have your dancers schedule private or semi-private lessons to work on skills or small group competition routines. We'll help polish and fix those trouble spots.

 

7. Off season technique and recreational dance classes . Look for these classes during our 3rd trimester beginning Feb.25 th . Your team can actually IMPROVE during your off-season.  Look for classes in "Dance Team" Ballet, Jazz, Pom, and Hip Hop that run during the spring sports season. And as always, we can tailor a class specifically for your team- with 5 or more dancers registered. You won't find that anywhere else!

New classes added for 3rd trimester SPECIFICALLY for HIGH SCHOOL DANCE TEAMS!  Check out our class schedule page for details
