This season, Cucalitos are bringing all the heat to the competition stage! Our Salsa, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary high level competitive teams train weekly in various dance styles- honing their technical skills. These dancers learn and execute challenging Salsa, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary repertoire throughout the season to perform not only at our Annual Winter and Spring Recitals, but also at various dance competitions throughout the season! Dancers should have at least 1 year of dance training in either Salsa, Hip-Hop, Jazz, or Ballet. Dancers are chosen for these teams through an evaluation process as it is a FULL YEAR COMMITTMENT!
