Boys Dance Too is a high‑energy, confidence‑building event designed specifically for male dancers in grades 6–12. This experience gives young men the chance to explore what dance team is all about, discover how their strengths uniquely elevate the sport, and connect with other male dancers who share their passion. Participants will learn pom, jazz, and hip-hop choreography while gaining insight into the athleticism, discipline, and teamwork that define dance team culture. Through shared stories, mentorship, and hands‑on training, dancers will see how their presence can shape the future of the sport — from high school teams to collegiate programs and even professional opportunities.

This event exists to expand representation in dance, empower male athletes, and build a community where boys can train, grow, and lead with confidence. It’s not just a workshop — it’s a movement to elevate dance by bringing more male dancers to the floor.
