Showcase Dance Studio

Dancers must be nominated by a staff member to audition and be enrolled in a Classical Ballet and/or Jazz/Tap combination class. Auditions are held in the fall.

SDS's Competition Team, Production, is a competitive group that competes at a minimum of two dance competitions in the greater Milwaukee area. The team ranges from dancers in 5th to 12th grade and the team competes in Jazz, Tap, Open, and/or Pom.

SDS's Performance Group offers dancers the opportunity to give back to the community and gain additional performance experience. This is a non-audition group of dancers that perform at local events.

This class is a combination of ballet and jazz that challenges dancers to use choreography and movement to interpret music and express emotion. Dancers learn to express emotions derived from lyrics to convey the dance’s meaning. Recommended for dancers with prior experience.

Hip Hop incorporates a variety of old and new urban, street and pop dance styles. The dancing represents body movements that go with the beat and rhythm of hip hop music. Hip hop dancing is very dynamic and helps the dancers improve flexibility, develop body balance, and coordination.
