INTRODUCTION

WHERE CONFIDENCE BECOMES CHARACTER.

Juniors is more than learning choreography. It's where young dancers begin to discover responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and the confidence to believe in themselves.

Every rehearsal challenges dancers to grow - not only as performers, but as individuals who encourage one another, overcome obstacles, and celebrate each other's successes.

Whether this becomes their first performance team or a place they call home for years, Juniors is designed to help every dancer leave stronger than when they arrived.

MEET YOUR DIRECTOR

Dennis Pham, Creative Director of the re.DEFINE Juniors Dance Team at re.DEFINE Dance Studio in Hayward, California.

DENNIS PHAM
CREATIVE DIRECTOR


Dennis Pham believes dance has the power to build confidence, one rehearsal at a time.

His dance journey began in high school, where he and his friends started a dance club from the ground up. From learning choreography on YouTube to performing at school events, those early experiences sparked a passion that followed him through college, where he competed, became an artistic director, and continued exploring styles like popping and freestyle.

After graduating, Dennis stepped away from dance for a few years. When he decided it was time to come back, a simple search for a nearby dance studio led him to re.DEFINE. What started as a fresh start quickly became a community that felt like home.

Today, Dennis brings that same passion to re.DEFINE Juniors. He believes every dancer grows at their own pace and that confidence comes from patience, encouragement, and celebrating progress along the way. His goal is to create an environment where young dancers feel supported, inspired, and excited to become the best versions of themselves.

"Be patient, not only with your movement but also with yourself."

Our Approach

✓ We create a positive and encouraging environment where every dancer feels comfortable learning, growing, and expressing themselves.

✓ We celebrate progress over perfection, knowing that confidence is built one step at a time.

✓ We encourage creativity, curiosity, and a growth mindset, helping dancers discover what they're capable of.

✓ We value teamwork, kindness, and supporting one another because great dancers are built in strong communities.

✓ We strive to help every Junior leave rehearsals feeling more confident, inspired, and excited to keep dancing.

 

Before You Take the Next Step

Joining a performance team is an exciting milestone, and we want both dancers and parents to feel confident before taking that next step. Here are answers to some of the questions we receive most often.

 

  • No. We look for dancers who are eager to learn, work hard, and grow. Previous performance team experience isn't required.

  • Juniors rehearses every Sunday from 4:00–7:00 PM. We encourage dancers to attend consistently so they can grow with the team and prepare for performances.

  • Juniors rehearses every Sunday from 4:00 PM–7:00 PM throughout the season.

    We encourage dancers to attend consistently, come prepared, practice outside of rehearsal, and support one another as a team. Juniors is designed to help young dancers build strong work ethic, confidence, and performance skills while balancing school, family, and other activities.

  • Yes. Parents are welcome to watch rehearsals from our viewing area, affectionately known as "The Fish Tank." If you prefer, you're also welcome to drop your dancer off and return near the end of rehearsal to watch the final run-through and see what they've been working on.

  • Yes. Juniors is a performance team, and rehearsals are designed to prepare dancers for performances throughout the season.

  • Absolutely! In fact, we highly encourage it. Almost all of our current Juniors dancers are enrolled in at least one weekly studio class. Regular classes provide additional technique, versatility, and training that complement team rehearsals and help dancers continue to grow.
