DROP SQUAD CREW - is Drop Zone's performance and training crew for beginner and adult dancers (21+). No auditions required and flexible commitment. Work on gaining confidence in your dancing though Hip Hop and mixed-styles choreography, performance techniques and individual feedback. Deepen your understanding of grooves, musicality, and rhythm. Make friends along the way. Training is better with a supportive community! You will end your 8 week session with at least one performance or dance concept video.

To allow you flexibility in your adult life, DROP SQUAD runs in 8 week sessions. You can join this training for as many sessions in the year as your schedule allows, as each session will be taught by a different instructor with a new goal.

Drop Squad prioritizes enrollment for BIPOC dancers in order to foster a diverse community in which they feel comfortable. All are welcome although we must ensure the group is at least 60% BIPOC.
