About the Superior Dance Program

Established in 2006, we have been competing for 16 years, and have made 13 appearances at State! We have competed in all styles of dance, high kick, pom, hip hip and pom. Not only do we compete during our season, but we also perform for events within the Superior School District such as, homecoming, assemblies, basketball and hockey games. We also participate in community events such as, the Fourth of July parade, Future Dancer Camp, Christmas City of the North parade, and local recitals!

Our Season

Dance team is considered a winter sport, which is when our competition season is, but we also participate in out of season performances and events. Please note that we would like as much participation as possible in out of season events, but we understand that dancers may have other commitments during the summer and participate in summer/fall sports. Here is an overview of what our typical season looks like after May tryouts:

Summer

*Fundraisers- We hold all of our fundraisers throughout the summer. These include car washes, Cub Foods grocery bagging, face painting at local events, and working at the Duluth Air Show.

*Practices- Throughout the summer we hold skills practices (usually 1-2 per week). These practices are optional, but we highly recommend attending them. This gives the dancers the opportunity to work on skills, conditioning, flexibility, and getting to know their teammates and coaches.

*4th of July Parade

*Just For Kix Dance Camp-Our team attends a 4 day dance camp in Brainerd, MN! It is not required to attend, but HIGHLY encouraged! Dancers are trained by professional dancers and choreographers in all styles of dance. This is an amazing opportunity to grow as a dancer and bond as a team.

Fall

*Homecoming- In September we perform at the homecoming assembly, parade, and football game. This is always a super fun day!

*Spooktacular Parade

*Future Spartan Dancer Camp

Winter

Our official season starts the first week of November and runs through February!
