Branches of Dance Performance Team

The Branches of Dance Performance Team is dedicated to training dancers professionally and preparing them for a variety of performance opportunities. Unlike a competition-focused team, our goal is to develop well-rounded performers who can excel in any setting—whether on a local stage or a world-class venue.

Performance Opportunities

Our team showcases their talents at local events, including:

  • Sports Events: Fight’n Phils, Reading Royals
  • Community Celebrations: West Reading Tree Lighting, Leesport Community Days, Muhlenberg Library, Laurldale Nursing Home
  • Parades: Temple, King Frost, Reading Holiday Parade

We also provide professional performance opportunities, such as:

  • Disney World
  • New York City Events
  • Cruise Ships
  • The Nutcracker Remixed

And More!

While we focus on performances, we do attend one or two dance competitions per season, with solo, duo, and trio options available.

Performance Team Levels

The team consists of four levels:

  • Mini (Ages 6-9)
  • Junior (Ages 9-12)
  • Senior (Ages 13 & up)

Root Troupe – A mixed-age group designed for dancers who need additional technical training and attention. Members of the Root Troupe can transition into Mini, Junior, or Senior levels upon achieving goals on their progress report.
