DANCE COMPANY  “The Crew”

Dance Machines has an award winning Dance Crew, with currently 3 avenues to chose from. Each Dance Crew provides a challenge for our students to be the best that they can be. The judging criteria could be slightly different, however, all crews are taught with emphasis on technique, retention, and personality. It is such an exciting way to build that self esteem and pride in your dancer.
 
Dance Crew is focused on several aspects of dance. Hip Hop, Tap, Jazz, and Modern are just some of the subjects that will be taught. It travels the DFW/Texas area and competitions are generally scheduled in late Winter and Spring. Highly accredited judges will critique your dances and will sometimes provide an audio/video review of your dance. Workshops often accompany the competition and are highly recommended for your benefit.

Cheer Crew focuses on sharp arm motions, cheer jumps, stunts , tumbling and use of Pom Poms. It attends the same competition circuit as the Dance Crew. If you are looking to improve on or expand your cheerleading abilities this is the team for you.

Precision Crew is designed for those dancers that wish to concentrate on their drill team skills. It travels in it’s own unique circuit throughout the metroplex and Texas. Primarily, these competitions are held in the Fall and early Spring. It provides a slightly different style of dance/drill team competition and has innovative guidelines for the judging criteria. Drill team workshops are scheduled throughout the year to further your education and development.
