ABOUT THE TEAM:
The "Fire Starters" Dance Team is the Fire and Ice USA youth troupe comprised of talented dancers between the ages of 8 and 15 who perform thrilling shows incorporating hip hop, jazz and gymnastics during various halftimes of Denver's professional and collegiate sporting events and Denver community events. The team was located in Southern California from 2003-2006 and is now operating in Denver, CO.


TEAM MISSION:
To give young dancers the opportunity and the experience of performing in front of large audiences for fun!  You won't find any of the pressures of competition here!

It's a great opportunity to get a wide breath of performance experience to build a young dancer's resume, prepare for future high school, collegiate or professional dance team auditions or just enjoy the art of dance.
