Team Athena emphasizes industry and commercial style dance. We host a wide variety of professional and local instructors, as well as classes with our directors and in house faculty. This season, we’ve worked with Dez Soliven, Gab Robert, Chris Lucky, Tacir Roberson, Kassidy Bright, Alekz Samone, and Peter Pinnock.

We also offer foundational training in hip-hop, popping, house, vogue, heels, freestyle, and jazz funk as well as strength and conditioning.

In the spring, we typically begin working on our set which performs and competes through the end of the season.

Athena’s Angels is the intermediate training team developed to guide dancers toward a successful transition onto Team Athena. We intend to develop these dancers to learn and perform at an advanced level.

Team Athena is our advanced team that is given performance, gig, and competitive opportunities. We intend to develop these dancers to prepare them to take the next steps for a professional dance career.

Dancers are assigned a group to train under at auditions.

Though it varies each season, dancers can expect at least 2-3 performance or competitive opportunities. We also typically attend one convention, shoot concept videos, and have our annual team photoshoot.

Team Athena members must be at least 18 years old to audition. There is no age limit.

Any members under 18 are a part of our Junior Elite squad, which are hand selected by our directors. There is no audition process for Junior Elite.

To prevent scheduling issues and conflicts of interest regarding competitions, performances, and team activities our members are not to hold membership on other dance teams simultaneously.

There are few exceptions to the rule which will be discussed at team orientation.

There are no refunds should you be unable to attend auditions for any reason. Please ensure you are available for both audition sessions and orientation prior to registering.
