 Our Dance/Poms program provides a structured and supportive environment where athletes are trained in technique, precision, and performance excellence while building confidence and strong teamwork. We focus on developing solid foundational skills in dance, pom technique, and overall performance quality, all within a positive team culture that promotes hard work, accountability, and continuous growth. 

The Level 1 Competitive Dance/Poms season at Tides Cheer & Dance begins in May and runs through March/April each year. Teams follow a structured training schedule with practices held two times per week, focusing on building strong fundamentals in dance technique, pom skills, precision, and performance quality. Athletes compete throughout the season, with competitions typically taking place from November through March/April, as they grow in confidence, teamwork, and overall performance excellence.
