Summer Jump Start Drill Team Intensive Open for Enrollment!

Yoshi Pineda and Jesus Acosta

We are pleased to offer another Sugar Land drill/dance team intensive for students ages 12-18 preparing for the upcoming seasons at their schools!

This has been extremely popular in past years and dance team directors have complimented us on the high level and diversity of the training we offer – both in this intensive and in our Fort Bend summer classes.

The 2024 summer Sugar Land dance intensive runs Monday June 17 through Wednesday June 19 and packs in 18 hours of dance preparation to give students a jump start on the dance/drill team season!

Hours are from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. with a 30 minute lunch break (students need to bring a lunch or plan on eating at Pepperonis downstairs or someplace close).

Instruction includes Precision (Pom and Military), leaps, turns, flexibility training & conditioning, jazz technique, hip hop, contemporary/lyrical and ballet!

Enrollment is now open and you can sign up here

The cost is $275. Please know there are NO refunds for cancellations. Depending on the number of enrollments, the group may be divided into an intermediate and advanced level.
