What is Synergy?

Synergy Competitive Dance, Pom and Cheer competes in the Illinois Park District Drill Conference Team Division. This is a great opportunity for your child to become a part of a team that will build his/her self-esteem and encourage him/her to be confident and outgoing.

The Competitive Team provides members with a unique opportunity to study, explore, and perform dance, pom, and cheer at a higher level of expectation. This gives the more discipline performer a way to study at studio-quality level of instruction.

The Competitive Team is broken into 3 seasons: Summer, Fall, and Winter/Spring. Team members sign up and pay for their respective team each session with the understanding that competing is required in Fall and Winter/Spring. Summer is an optional Session but very helpful to sharpen skills, technique, stunting, and tumbling.

Team members will also perform at Dance Recital at the end of each session. Costumes, uniforms, and meet fees are included.

Joliet & Channahon Park District compete as one team.
