Dance Team Name Generator

Dance team names follow a few well-worn conventions depending on the scene. Hip-hop and street crews favor short, punchy names with the word Crew, Fam or Squad and often a nod to a technique or the culture: Jabbawockeez, Rock Steady Crew, Beat Freaks, Kinjaz. Competition studios and contemporary companies lean toward a single evocative word plus Dance Company, Collective, Elite or Project: Momentum, Prism, Cadence, Elevate. High school and college teams tend to be a mascot-style name that ends in Dance Team, Pom or Drill Line, and ballroom formation teams often just use the studio name.

A good dance team name is easy to shout from the bleachers, fits on a jacket back, and does not clash with a well-known crew you might meet at a competition. Terms from dance itself, such as 8 Count, Full Out, Downbeat, En Pointe, Cypher and Syncopation, immediately signal that the group is made of dancers, while words like Motion, Movement, Momentum and Velocity give a contemporary company an artistic feel without being precious.

The names above cover all of these styles: street and breaking crews, competition studio companies, tap ensembles, pom and drill teams, and a set of mascot-style team names. Combine a name with your city or studio (Momentum Dance Company of Austin, Bassline Crew ATL) to make it yours.
