Sometimes throughout the program, we have what we call "Surprise Dances," and the mentors and some of the cast members sign up. During the Surprise Dances, nothing is known to the volunteers. They do not know the genre, the music or the tempo of the pieces. AT ALL. They choose a number, and then that corresponding track is played. They must improvise the whole thing. On the spot. Right. Then. We are sure you join us in being amazed. These performances look almost REHEARSED and they are not! Watch some tidbits below. Included are Marlon (10 years), Ron (5 years), Torey (8 years), Aicha (4 years), Deandre (11 years) and Kevin (7 years). Aicha has had 3 years of formal training. The rest - none.

Following this, our previous cast members, and a few very VERY EAGER NEWBIES, provided a small glimpse at what team dance looks like. The faces and energy surely said enough about how excited we are for this season! Some of our BRAND NEW TALENT just got up and joined it, before we called EVERYONE to get up and have fun trying the "Daedream DQ STEP," a combination step similar to a line dance, created by Daedream's own choreographers. You'll see it pop up here and there! But for now, take a peek at last week's big opening day! Spot your fave cast members!!! More to come, it's only SEPTEMBER!
Each year, the mentors make an appearance at OPEN HOUSE, but this year, we've added the entire 8th grade group, soon to be Junior Mentors, to the performance! It's slated for 5:00 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017. Below is a sneak peek video of Director/Head Choreographer Kevin teaching parts of the presentation.  Each day after camp, the mentor and choreography teams meet to work on next year's show (2018, "Fear Itself.") These three hour sessions are on a voluntary basis and include:
