TAHOMA BEARS DANCE TEAM

The award winning, Tahoma Bears Dance Team, is a year long program starting in August and goes until June with a break in April. The team also has fun attending dance camps in July including hosting their own commuter camp with Northwest Dance Company and/or Full Throttle Dance Company. This gives dancers the opportunity to work closely with dance professionals from the Seattle Seahawks, Portland Trailblazers, and Chicago Bulls. We want to provide the most industry experience for dancers to feel confident in their dance abilities.

 

The Bears start learning their season routines in August with auditions typically in the end of August/early September. Once the teams are formed, we have a focus on competition routines in September and October. The Bears typically compete in the Hip Hop and Pom categories. The team starts competing in December including attending the Regional Dance Team Union Competition. They usually compete in 4-5 competitions to earn the scores to qualify for the District 3 Competition and later move forward to State.

​

In addition to their regular competition season, the Bears also perform Hip Hop, Jazz, and Pom routines throughout the school year including halftime shows and other events such as "Out Of The Darkness", the Maple Valley Days Parade, and more.
