About Us
We are the former “Starz of Thunder” dance team which was established in 2004 by former Houston Rockets Power Dancer, Juanita Velasquez. Our program started out with 1 junior team competing in the hip-hop division and grew to become 4 competitive teams. Our program brought home 9 National Titles and 10 Individual Titles in the 5 years we competed.
Our journey, performing at the competition level, was quite an experience but we’re now taking a turn in our program. Here in Houston we have professional sports teams such as the NBA Houston Rockets, NFL Houston Texans, MLS Dynamo Soccer, and other semi-professional leagues in the area that have professional and semi-professional dance/cheerleader auditions. Most are called professional cheerleaders but the correct term should be professional DANCERS.
OUR MISSION
“Our mission is to train dancers so they have the opportunity to be a part of a professional sports dance team.”
Here at X-treme DANZ, we believe “It’s never too early to start training our students to become dancers and performers.” We offer children of all ages dance classes such as creative dance, ballet, jazz and hip-hop. We also have a special program, known as our Pro-Dance Class, that allows our more serious dance students get training from former and current professional cheerleaders, dancers and elite choreographers.
Pro-Dance is a program we are super excited about! This dance class is open to high school girls who are interested in auditioning for a “professional sports” dance team or a “collegiate” dance team. This program not only teaches various styles of dance but also informs potential candidates what’s expected of them at a professional dance team audition. It covers the requirements, expectations and preparation of such an intense experience.
We believe that being a part of our dance program will offer your child a sense of belonging, raise their self-esteem, obtain self-confidence along with learning teamwork and management skills.
