Hip Hop Dance & Drill

The South Shore Drill Team is a performing arts group that does dance and precision-drilling. Teens will have opportunities to travel and perform as motivators. They will also develop leadership skills that can be used to improve their community along with channeling their energy, creativity, and drive into positive activities. SSDT also strives to instill responsibility, teamwork, and self-discipline. Leadership skills are promoted through a ranking system that provides youth with additional responsibilities and offers more voice in activities as they mature and demonstrate their ability to lead. Much of what they learn from performing arts translates into skills which will help them succeed as adults. Three major events provide a final product for each ASM session: a Holiday Show in December, the Spring Show in late May or early June, and the Bud Billiken Parade in mid-August.
