Youth at C3
Show Up. Train Hard. Own the Stage.
Our youth programs are based on a simple idea: when kids consistently show up and work toward something together, they become stronger dancers, more confident performers and better teammates.
Three ways into C3
Full Season Teams
Weekly team training from September through May, with multiple performances and competition opportunities.
Short Season
Seasonal offerings for younger dancers and dancers who want additional performance opportunities.
Classes
Specialized offerings to build skills without a full-season commitment.
What makes C3 different?
C3 is a team-based hip hop program built around strong training, choreography and performance.
Our teams train consistently throughout the season, developing technique, musicality and performance quality through great music, strong choreography and focused coaching. The work you see on stage comes from a creative process that builds over time. Nothing at C3 is cookie-cutter.
Through consistent training and coaching, dancers become stronger, more confident performers.
We prioritize quality over quantity, and we’re built for dancers who want to be fully in it.
C3 is for dancers who want to show up, be part of a team and work toward something exciting together.
Full Season Teams
Our teams are full-season hip hop programs built around consistent training and performance. Each level meets dancers at their age and stage while helping them build stronger technique, confidence and performance quality.
C3 youth teams train from September through May, with select competition teams continuing through Nationals in the summer.
Teams are thoughtfully structured by age, experience, readiness and fit. Throughout the season, dancers develop hip hop foundations, musicality, choreography retention and performance quality while becoming part of a connected group.
Our teams perform at C3 productions, competitions and carefully selected community and special events. Additional opportunities may include guest choreographers, master classes, music videos and creative projects.
As C3 continues to grow, we want to keep our youth team program strong and sustainable. Rather than making teams bigger or simply adding more teams, our focus is on strong training, team culture and making sure every team gets the coaching and attention it deserves.

Welcome to C3 Events
For prospective youth dancers interested in C3 teams.
Welcome to C3 is designed for prospective youth dancers and families interested in exploring whether the C3 team experience may be the right fit.
Dancers learn choreography, meet C3 coaches and experience the energy of the studio. Current C3 teams perform so families can see the training, showmanship and team culture that define the program.
It is a fun, low-pressure way to get to know C3, ask questions and stay connected until the next team-placement opportunity.
Welcome to C3 events are generally offered in late June, late August (only when team openings remain), early December and early April.
