The Performance Squad is for dancers who have caught the bug and want more. By gentle audition, it brings together committed students for extra rehearsal time, more demanding choreography, and the chance to represent Pirouette at competitions, community events and our flagship year-end concert.
Squad members train harder and grow faster — refining technique across styles, learning to take direction quickly, and experiencing the discipline and camaraderie of preparing real pieces for real stages. It is a big, rewarding commitment, and we look after our squad with extra care, structure and encouragement.
Crucially, the squad sits alongside a dancer’s regular classes rather than replacing them — technique still comes first. For families whose child lives and breathes dance, it is the pathway that turns a hobby into a genuine craft, without ever losing the joy that started it all.
