Dance Pak is a team of competitively trained dancers that compete yearly against other schools at University Dance Competitions. There are three weekly practices, ranging from 5-12 hours of mandatory practice time. Dance Pak hosts a showcase prior to the competition season, providing dancers with an opportunity to perform and highlight their hard work for family and friends. Dance Pak then goes on to compete in three competitions per season, all during the month of March. Our team mainly focuses on contemporary, open, jazz, and lyrical, but members may train in tap, hip-hop, and acro. Dance Pak is not only an amazing way to keep active, but is built on a community of teamwork, passion, and mutual support. Dancers motivate one another to grow both technically and creatively, fostering a space where everyone feels valued. Beyond practices and performances, the team forms strong friendships and a sense of belonging that extends into all aspects of student life. New members must participate in an audition at the beginning of each new year in September.
Auditions take place at the beginning of each new school year, during the month of September. Audition information is posted on our Instagram each year.
