About Performance Teams:

The first DBSD Performance Team, “Money!” was created in 2009 by Mickaela Maxwell. Since this successful first Tap Performance Team, the program has grown to ten teams across three genres. DBSD’s Performance Teams are additional classes for the competitive dancer that are choreography and routine focused. The format of the Performance Team classes allow the dancer to experience being part of a larger scale piece in a fast paced professional atmosphere. Our goal with our Performance Teams is to provide each dancer with an additional experience and opportunity, centering their training around specific performance skills and providing additional performance opportunities. 

What Does Being Part of a Performance Team Entail?

Performance Teams foster growth, community, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence.  Performance Team dancers must uphold our DBSD philosophies and values to the highest degree, including excellent attendance (maximum three excused absences per season), giving full effort in class, practicing and perfecting the routine outside class, respecting fellow team members, giving assistance to teammates where needed, and having a positive, supportive attitude.  

Performance Team classes are in addition to the dancers regular Company classes, Technique classes, Ballet classes and Studio Stream classes. Permission for anything else must be given by Ms. Barb directly.

If you have any questions about Performance Teams, audition requirements or how to work toward your goal of making the team, please reach out to Ms. Barb and dbsdoffice@gmail.com!
