I have seen a few by perusing through a few chances threads but I’m curious to see how many more there are. I personally dance through my school’s program (not at a studio :/), have done it for the past few years and we are preparing our pieces for the spring show right now.
Ahhh I dance too! I used to dance at a studio, but I had to quit because it took up too much time. I still dance at school though, and we have a show soon 
I do Winterguard, if that counts… I used to do Bollywood, but quit due to the time commitment (practice was for six hours every Saturday + two hours every Sunday); it didn’t allow me to do most of my other extracurriculars and their competitions. At one point I also did jazz and lyrical, but that’s a long story… But we dance a lot in guard, so it’s all good. I don’t think our school has a legit dance team.
I don’t do studio, private lessons and musical theater dance through my theater company and school. It really relaxes the mind!
My school has a legit dance team that is pretty good (1st place several times in statewide jazz + hip hop competitions) but I haven’t been able to join due to complications. Really looking forward to joining dance in college!
I dance… in the shower lol :))
My dad is trying to get me to skip guard practice tomorrow to study for finals/math (which I have a solid B in–aka it’s my lowest grade–but the curve is low enough that if I raise my grade like 1%, I’ll get an A- in the class; but I need 100% on our next math test and to do decent on the final), and hahaha not happening. Our first competition is on February 7, and guard takes a LOT of staging and dance and stunts and flag/rifle/sabrework to learn. It’s not just the fact that having one person missing will be annoying for the other members, but it’s also that I’d have three hours of stuff to learn at our next practice.
@topaz1116 , what is winterguard exactly?
@dennael it’s basically a thing where a group of people dance and use flags (large, six-foot ones on metal poles), rifles (wooden rifle-shaped things covered in white electrical tape), and sabers (they look kind of like the things you use for fencing, also covered in white electrical tape) to mirror the music. If you’ve watched a colorguard (the people with flags) perform with a marching band, it’s like that, except indoors and with more dance. You generally perform on a gym floor and there are usually multiple things going on at once/formations/stunts/tossing (lots of tossing). You should search up some videos–some teams (especially independent teams) are really, really, really good.
@topaz1116 that sounds pretty badass. How often do you practice? I dance about 2 hours every other day
@dennael we practice twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for about 3 hours (sometimes a little longer).
Also, I’m trying out for my school’s Raas team (lol I go to a weird school: our only dance teams are Indian dance, one Bollywood team that literally only picks super-skinny people no matter of their dancing ability, and we just formed a Raas team–basically a type of Indian folk dance from the part of India that I’m from). I really hope I make it 
@topaz1116 that’s awesome that your school dance is so multicultural. I would love to try those styles of dance. the one at my school is just regular, contemporary, jazz, etc. but our dance team has won medals hip hop in our state competitions a few times, so I guess that’s one of our strong points.
here is a video of our dance team’s hip hop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsSOTurLzTg
We don’t have regular dance teams at my school; however, there are jazz-funk airbands during homecoming that are really, really, really good (the fact that pretty much every girl on them can do a needle makes them even more impressive).
Wow, your dance team is really, really good. I can PM you a video of my school’s performances from multicultural week if you want; we have hip-hop, ballet, Raas, Bollywood, and a gazillion other types of performances then (and MC week is a HUGE deal at my school, so everything’s really good); I could also send you a link to our Winterguard performances.
At times my school is so multicultural it… isn’t. When you go to a school that’s 86% Asian, it’s not really a new thing.
@topaz1116 please do pm it to me! I love watching dance performances. My school is located in rural Vermont, so there’s basically no diversity in culture.
