Ages 12 to 15
The youth crew
A Friday rehearsal for dancers who want to build one piece together.
The crew is a group of dancers 12 to 15 who rehearse on Friday evenings and show their work at showcase night and at community events around the Bay. Joining is a conversation with your teacher after a session of classes, not a tryout. The crew is not a competition team: it is a group that learns a piece, and then goes and dances it.
