What is SPT, Inc?

Shuffles Performance Team, Incorporated is our non-profit competitive traveling group!

It is open to ages 7-18 that have had at least 2 years of dance experience! It requires an audition and a 2-session commitment (Fall & Spring session)

.

What is the Shuffles Production Team?

This team is a blast from the past! It is open to all dancers ages 7-18 who want to see what competition is like!

This class does require Fall & Spring commitment & one competition. This class does NOT require an audition.

Why is a non-profit so important?

Dance is expensive, so a non-profit opens up more opportunities for fundraisers, grants & donations! Some things we currently do that are an easy way to earn money to help with expenses:

-sell business ads for recital programs

-vendor & craft fair in December

- sell Ollie's Flower Cards

-sell beverages at the Iola Car Show

-food & beverage booth at Lambeau Field!!!

-indoor rummage sale

-sell Kwik Trip carwash cards

-parade sponsors

Where does the team perform?

Venues & places change from year-to-year, but a few places we have performed at are:

-Wausau, Appleton, Green Bay, Madison, Chicago, Minneapolis dance competitions

-Taste of Shawano

-area nursing homes

-area fundraisers

-Six Flags, Great America (sometimes)

-option to dance in New York 2024!!!!

-Bonduel 4th of July parade, Shawano Holiday Stroll, Clintonville Holiday Parade, Embarrass Fun Dayz Parade

When are auditions?

Auditions are held in the summer before fall session begins. We will be holding it on Thursday, August 18th at 7pm (open registration night)...bring all of your shoes! If you can't make it, please let an instructor know so we can schedule you one ;)

Just because you audition, doesn't mean you have to accept the invitation to join the teams....it's always good to audition for EVERYTHING & then decide exactly what you would like to do. Audition experience will ALWAYS help your dancer out down the road!

We will have a parent/ dancer informational meeting on August 25th at 5pm to go over costs, potential competition dates, fundraisers, etc.
