Baypac & Paam Squad
A New Season Begins
Learn. Grow. Perform.
​
A new season means new opportunities to grow, perform, and become the best dancer you can be — and we want your child to be a part of it!
BAYPAC Company is PAAM's year-round competitive training program for dancers ready to take their passion to the next level. With companies ranging from beginner to pre-professional, BAYPAC develops the whole dancer. Heart, mind, and artistry.
BAYPAC Conservatory is our pre-professional training track for serious dancers ready to take their artistry to the next level. With advanced curriculum, industry guest faculty, and unique performance opportunities, it is where fearless artists are made.
PAAM Squad is our noncompetitive performance team for dancers ages 7 to 12 who love to perform while staying active in other sports and activities. Choose from Jazz Funk, Lyrical, or Acro — or do all three!
All programs are open by audition, and audition season is officially here!
BAYPAC
BAYPAC (Bay Area Youth Performing Arts Collective) is PAAM’s year-round program that offers comprehensive training for the student who is interested in taking their dancing to the next level. It is home to BAYPAC Dance Company. As a company member you will train, compete and perform throughout the school year (September - June). There are companies for all levels of experience, and vary in commitment level all the way up to our Pre-Professional (Pre-Pro) programs. BAYPAC Dance Company competes throughout the year at regional competitions, and are heavily involved in our annual PAAM performances like the Holiday Spectacular and Spring Showcase in San Francisco. Within BAYPAC, we have two types of Companies - Technical and Crew. BAYPAC participation is by audition and/or application only. If dancers would like to train at the BAYPAC level but cannot commit to the competition Companies, the full BAYPAC intensive training program (ITP) is open to accepted students ages 5 & up.
​
We have two brand new programs under our Technical Company to meet our dancers' needs. These include Pre-Company, especially designed for dancers ages 5 - 7 and BAYPAC Rising, which is designed for dancers who want the company experience with less weekly commitments.
​
BAYPAC is deeply committed to "whole person" training. We hone the complete package, going beyond the physical instruction to feed our dancers' hearts and minds.
PAAm squad
PAAM Squad is our noncompetitive performance team that is for the dancer that is interested in performing more throughout the year, and might have just one to two styles they would like to focus on primarily. Our squads meet for their weekly class and rehearsal, and perform at local PAAM events (including our annual Pumpkin Bash, Holiday Show, and Spring showcase) throughout the year, and allow for additional activities and sports if the dancer has multiple hobbies. PAAM Squad is offered to dancers ages 7 - 12, and dancers can choose to be on Jazz Funk, Lyrical, or Acro Squad. Dancers can choose to be on one, two, or even all three Squads! Dancers and families who "take the leap" with PAAM Squad value excellence in dance training, and most of all, the importance of the journey.
