Rec Cheer Dance Teams(GZ)

Recreational Cheer Dance Teams

Rec. Cheer Dance Teams are geared towards dancers who would like the opportunity to perform multiple times during a season. There will be one Rec. Cheer Dance Team for each style offered at the gym- Jazz, Freestyle Pom, and Hip Hop, for ages 9 and above. Classes will all be geared toward perfecting routines to be performed. An emphasis is placed on learning choreography, performance skills, and working as a team. Being a member of a performance team requires discipline, dedication, and respect for the dancer’s peers. Because the performance routines will be set in formations, dancers will learn responsibility and how to work with their teammates. Dancers involved in the Rec. Cheer Dance Teams are encouraged to also participate in Cheer Dance Technique Classes and Skills classes to improve their abilities.

There will also be a Mini Rec. Cheer Dance Team, designed for ages 4-8, in which the athletes will learn all three styles at practice, and the coach will chose the style the team looks best doing to perform. Just as with our older teams, the Mini Rec. Cheer Dance Team will focus on building discipline, dedication, and team work, as well as confidence, and performance skills.

Recreational Team members must be a Lifetime Member of Varsity.

As Rec. Teams grow in size the Varsity coaching staff will split up athletes by age and skill/performance level.  This will help the athletes and coaching staff to build routines with the appropriate amount of difficulty, in a safe productive manner.

Practice will be two hours a week for style teams and an hour and fifteen minutes for Mini’s.  Attendance is extremely important for the growth and benefit of all team members.  Extra practices will be scheduled prior to team performances.  There will be no make-up classes for the team program.
