  • WHAT IS THE CYPHER SIDE PERFORMANCE TEAM?

    Cypher Side’s Performance Team is a pre-professional youth dance crew that blends Hip Hop, Breaking, and other street dance styles to hype up audiences of all-ages. CSPT aims to positively represent Cypher Side dance school and entertain the communities they touch through performances. 

    Many performances will consist of choreographed routines, freestyle cyphers, and teaching workshops. In the past, we have performed for the MN Timberwolves Halftime Show, Governor's Inauguration, MN State Fair, music videos, and more. 

    This performance team is the primary team for performances we get booked for.

    We want to work with dancers that:

    • have a solid in foundation in Hip Hop and/or Breaking

    • enjoy Hip Hop/Breaking culture

    • are open-minded, hard-working, and a team-player

    • can learn fast, receive feedback well, and possess discipline to practice/improve on their own time

    LEADERSHIP TEAM

    Joelle Fernandez - Coach/choreographer

    Frankie Hebres - Coach/choreographer

    Lue Thao - Coach/choreographer and studio owner

    Roberto Chavez - Assistant coach/choreographer

    WHAT IS THE LEADERSHIP TEAM LOOKING FOR IN THE AUDITION?

    Dancers auditioning for the Cypher Side Performance Team will be judged on 4 categories:

    1. Character and Performance

    2. Choreography Execution

    3. Freestyle Capabilities

    4. Behavior

    Special notes:

    Judges will place heavier importance to the Character & Performance category. Choreography can be practiced. Freestyle can be improved. Passion, style, and confidence when performing are more valuable to us. 

    We are looking for dancers that can display fire, swag, joy, and strength. For examples, consider researching: Black Flag dance crew, the Jabbawockeez (MTV’s America’s Dance Crew winners), and The Lab (NBC’s World of Dance youth winners).
