Groove Nation Dance Teams

Wednesday the 10th o March

OUR TEAMS

Groove Nation currently has 3 competitive level and 2 performing level teams, all which require you to audition to participate. The performing teams (Velozity and Fusion) demand at least an intermediate level of dance and the competitive teams (Kontrolled Kaos, Boom Box Dancers and Remix) are advanced. All teams rehearse 2 hours per week, in addition to the required classes of hip hop, dance technique and a choice between: Contemporary/Modern, Funk Tap and Break Dance, between 4-6 hours per week total.

If you are interested in participating on one of these teams, please call our office at 360-699-7150, to schedule a private audition. Taking a few drop-in Hip Hop classes ahead of time, is strongly recommended to warm you up to our style of dance.
