Info About PADA Small Group Team

The Phoenix AcroDance Academy (PADA) Small Group Team provides limited opportunities for performances due to the 1 hour weekly rehearsal sessions on Friday evenings. It serves as an excellent starting point for students who are new to performing and offers additional opportunities for those who are also members of the PADA Main Team.

PADA Performing Team is known for its dynamic performances in professional venues across the United Kingdom. These venues include the Birmingham Hippodrome, Indigo at The O2 London, and Blackpool Winter Gardens Opera House, among others. The team provides a unique platform for students to showcase their talents, blend creativity with discipline, and experience the exhilaration of performing on grand stages.

Although PADA Performing Team is fundamentally a non-competitive team, it occasionally participates in competitions, offering students the invaluable opportunity to compete. The team's prowess was notably recognised in 2021 and 2023, when they won first place and achieved the highest score of 95 out of 100 for their Inter Acro Group Dance titled "Inferno." This accolade is a testament to the team’s dedication, skill, and the harmonious collaboration among its members.

One of the defining characteristics of PADA Performing Team is its inclusive and diverse nature. It embraces students of varying abilities and ages, fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of their skill level, has the chance to perform. This inclusivity ensures that advanced dancers and beginners alike can work together, support each other, and learn the essence of teamwork. PADA's philosophy is cantered on the belief that every student should have the opportunity to perform on stage, thus welcoming all abilities into their performing team.

Through its performances, PADA Performing Team not only entertains but also instils values of cooperation, support, and camaraderie among its members. Each student learns to work harmoniously with their peers, overcoming challenges together and celebrating successes as a united team. This approach not only enhances their dance skills but also contributes to their personal growth and development.

In essence, PADA Performing Team is more than just a performing group; it is a nurturing community where diverse talents meet, grow, and flourish. It stands as a beacon of inclusivity, excellence, and the joy of dance, continually inspiring both its members and audiences alike.
