Dance is an expressive art form and an important part of All Star sports that builds stamina, speed, muscle, flexibility and poise. USASF member dance programs offer athletes the opportunity to participate on teams in a variety of competitions to become well-trained and well-rounded dancers while learning valuable life skills. 

Dance style is a key component of All Star Dance with choices ranging from contemporary/lyrical, hip hop, jazz, pom, kick and variety. These are also typical dance categories you may see at a USASF competition. Competition routines will incorporate many technical elements and skills specific to the dance styles while emphasizing musicality, uniformity, synchronization, complexity, and athleticism. And, depending on the competition, teams also have the opportunity to work with judges to receive feedback on what they did well and ways to improve.

All Star Dance differs from traditional school dance teams in that its primary purpose is competition, while school dance involves crowd leading and other school roles, as well as the option for competition. All Star dance teams are most often organized and based out of a studio and have teams that are open to all area dancers.
