Charleston Sparks Youth Dance Team
Charleston’s first community dance team! We lead our dancers through Universal Dance Association (UDA) based training and conditioning sessions, while creating some awesome, high-energy dance team routines to exhibit throughout the Lowcountry. Our main focus is in the development of self-esteem, confidence, determination, responsibility, motivation and of course, team spirit.
We practice once a week on Tuesdays starting in September with a goal to perform once a month from October through April. Charleston Sparks has performed at the Holiday Festival of Lights, College of Charleston and Citadel basketball games, Lowcountry STEM festival, James Island County Park, Charleston Farmers Market, St. Andrew's Christmas Tree Lighting and First Day Festival
