WELCOME TO DANCE BEAST
Congratulations on being a part of our Hip Hop Dance Academy! Just like you, we also see the value in extracurricular activities for children & teens. Here at Dance Beast, we use dance as a tool to develop and empower our youth with the skills and confidence to be the next generation of leaders. We appreciate you for allowing us to guide you on your dance journey and are delighted to welcome you and your family to our team.
 
Core Values

Discipline
At Dance Beast, we help our dancers build a positive self-image through student achievement. We motivate our dancers to “achieve” by teaching them to set goals to master difficult dance routines for upcoming dance performances. We also provide numerous performance opportunities so they can recognize the connection between their effort and results. Lastly, we support our students with praise and feedback that will encourage them to get better with each performance.
When students can consistently achieve goals set for them, that’s discipline. When students set can create their own path towards success, that’s CONFIDENCE.

Confidence
At Dance Beast, we help students cultivate unique skills to create their own style. We do this by providing dancers with opportunities to be creative through freestyle circles, dance battles, dance acting roles, solo performances, and student-led choreography. Students feel proud when they are involved in the creative process and gain confidence in their unique skills. Ultimately, confidence is using your unique skillset to define, pursue, and achieve ambitious goals. This is why we believe “Dancing Builds Confidence and Confidence is the Key to Success”.

Leadership
When you think of a leader there is a good chance that you think of someone that exudes confidence.
At Dance Beast, we empower dancers with leadership roles. Class leaders use the self-confidence they gained through dance to inspire new students to do the same. Leadership roles also challenge dancers to develop teaching, problem solving, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. This is the reason why many of our students have gone on to become outstanding leaders and coaches.

Community
Leadership roles give students a voice, helps them develop organizational skills and provides opportunities to give back within a community.
At Dance Beast, we are dedicated to creating a sense of belongingness and connectedness within our dance community. We create team bonding opportunities between our coaches, staff, and families through community events. We work together to build a fun environment where dancers have an opportunity to build confidence, make new friends, and be a part of a winning team.

DANCE TEAM CODE OF CONDUCT
The most important step towards developing dance skills is consistency and commitment. Every class missed is a missed opportunity to learn or improve dance and leadership skills.
