100 DANCE TEAM NAMES - FOR YOUR DANCE TEAM - ENTERTAINMENT
It's time to dance and have fun. Once you have created a dance team, your next step is to find the perfect name for it. We can help you start searching for your name with these 100 dance team names. You can use them as they are or change them to be more unique to your group name.
1. Electric Sliders: This is the obvious take on dancing, the Electric Slide. We think it would be a cute name for a dance team.
2. Dance Varsity: You don't need to create a varsity team to make this your name. Show how cool everyone in your group is with that name.
3. Rebel Force: It doesn't necessarily sound like a dance team, but we all want to be rebels, right?
4. Boogie Crows: it's time to boogie woogie when you choose that name.
5. Wookierockers: although it sounds pretty cute, I'm really not sure what the name actually means.
6. Keep calm and dance: is a funny name for your band.
7. Sun Dolls: is a delightful name.
8. Toxic Twist Crew: The first part of the name gets alliteration points. Perhaps there needs to be a command to continue the alliteration, not a command.
9. Dazzlers: Obviously you have that name because your dance team dazzles everyone who sees it.
10. Dynasty of dancers: you can create your own legacy with your dynasty of dancers.
11. Dance N' Beats: is a pretty easy name to pick.
12. Dancing Dolls: this dance team name is worth extra points for alliteration.
13. Hoodratrompers: I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds cool.
14. Tapping Kings: I feel like this should be the name of a dance team for a group of guys who love tap dancing. I also think that tap dancing is really underrated as a type of dance. I still remember how much I wanted to try tap dancing after I first saw the movie Chicago.
15. Hip Hop Hooligans: This name really speaks for itself.
16. Spiritual dancers: Forget about spiritual fingers - there are spiritual dancers in your group.
17. Black Illusion: sounds like a funny name.
18. Doomsday Panthers: You'd better beware of a team with that name.
19. Rhythmic Eagles: is always a funny name.
20. Lady Rebels: Obviously this makes sense for a group of women on a dance team.
21. Jack Attack: rhymes. Other than that, I'm really not sure what this dance team means.
22. Destructive Divas: If you decide to name your team like that, then everyone else will definitely follow your team.
23. Homies: While this name works, it seems like you could really do better. At least change that name with an adjective or something to make it more interesting.
24. Bunny Dancers: Your team must be very nice if you use the word "bunny" in your nickname.
25. Dance & Drill: If your dance team is also a drill team, this is the name you can choose.
26. We bring it: If you're on a dance team, you may have seen the movie Bring It On at some point. If so, this is a great modification of the title of this movie.
27. Spiritual dancers. Interestingly, there are actually many religious groups that use dance to express themselves. Whirling dervishes are just one example. There are also styles of meditation that use dance to connect with your deep self. If you want to inspire your team to be more spiritual and connect with the universe, use this name.
28. Rangerettes: is a nice name.
29. Bone ballerinas. Everyone thinks that ballerinas are so refined and delicate. Show that you are made of more complex things with these dance team names.
30. Silver Steppers: I love the alliteration in that name.
31. Shake It Up: shake things with that name.
32. Hot Devil Synergy: This sounds like a pretty trendy option.
33. Tomcats: Since the cats are male, it really only makes sense as the name of a dance team that is made up of all or mostly guys.
34. Sweet disasters: people are better at hiding their valuables and fragile items when you start dancing.
35. Flying girls: Obviously, your team should have a bunch of flying girls with that name.
36. Black portholes: I think dark portholes would work too.
37. Top Gun All Stars: whoever chooses this name is probably obsessed with the Top Gun movie.
38. Rockin' Rabbits: This certainly sounds nice and scores points for alliteration. Although the last time I checked, although the rabbits could not dance.
39. Liquid smoke: this name is impossible, although it sounds cool.
40. The Hip Hoppers: is a cute name.
41. Statik Moves: Your movements are definitely not static if you are part of a dance team.
42. Variety: sounds like a funny name.
43. Ladybugs: I think it's an amazing team name for a dance group.
44. Golden dusters: Obviously, your team is beautiful and valuable, like gold dust, with a name like that.
45. Kaba Modern: is a cute name.
46. Jalapeño Hotties: since "j" is pronounced like "h", this team name is actually an example of alliteration.
47. Sizzle and Stomp: Your team sizzles and stomp, so just show that fact in your team name.
48. Diamond Dolls: is such a cute name to choose from.
49. Groovy Boyz: Obviously, this is supposed to be a team name for a group of dancers.
50. Klassy Kats: For some reason, switching "C" to "K" makes any name sound more surprising.
51. Crystal Queens: is a funny name.
52. Grindin' Grizzlies: I like the alliteration, but I'm not quite sure what to think of this title. While the bears sound cute, I can't imagine the grizzlies spending a lot of time dancing.
53. Golden sparklers: sparklers are my favorite fireworks and they certainly attract attention.
54. Kickin' Crew: is a fun name to choose from.
55. Royal Heat Squad: You will bring the heat with that name.
56. Jesterz: This gets an extra boost with "z" instead of "s" at the end of the world.

58. Crew Justice: This is a very funny dance crew name to choose from.
59. Jacking: I hope your dance isn't all about jacking.
60. Rhythmic Thunder: follow this team!
61. Spirit on the move: sounds like a fun, modern name.
62. Classic mermaids: To be honest, there are a few problems with this name. I love mermaids, but they definitely don't have legs, do they? How could they dance? A mythical name is always fun, but it doesn't make any logical sense.
63. Lionettes: For some reason, that sounds way cooler than a lioness.
64. Gangsta 'Groove: I love the alliteration in the name of this dance team.
65. Salsa Swings: If you love salsa or swing dancing, this is a great name.
66. Dangerous Divas: they might be divas, but you better watch out for the dancers on this team.
67. Lady Movers: get ready to start moving with that name!
68. Super Sparklers: From the moment you enter a room, your spark will light up the entire area.
69. Pirouette Champs: sounds like a funny name.
70. Tribal strikers: I bet this is not a dance team name you would find for a classical dance team or ballet.
71. Dizzy Dancers: I hope this doesn't end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
72. Ultimate Athletic: Some people dance for fun or for how it looks. Other people love to dance to get in shape. This is one way to show that your dance team is focused on fitness.
73. Dancers Divine: is a fun name to pick.
74. Crazy Cats: I like that name.

80. Hungry bunkers : as long as you're not hungover bunkers, that name will be fine.
81. Gizmos: Sounds cool, but it doesn't look like it has anything to do with dancing.
82. Thundering Kidz: If you can't find another name on this list, at least this might work for you.
83. Bouncers. If other people can't dance as well as your team, you bounce them right out of the club.
84. Chasing Thrill: Of all the dance team names on this list, this is my favorite. Obviously this only really works for tap dancers, but who cares? I love the play on words in The Pursuit of Happyness.
85. We are heroes: this name works.
86. Crewzincrew: Are you a Cruisin' Crew or a Crewzincrew? You decide.
87. Cogarettes: is a smart name for a group of older women who are still as hot as the younger ones at the club.
88. Lost Dynasty: Once you name your team, the dynasty really won't be lost for long.
89. Starstruck: Everyone else will end up blown away because your dance moves are amazing.

What is the name of the dance group. How to name a dance group
Dancing is popular among people of all ages, genders and nationalities. After all, they make it possible to maintain oneself in excellent physical shape, improve flexibility, relax, cheer up and more. Those who have moved from the category of amateurs to professionals or wish to become professionals create dance classes.
Brainstorming
Most of the already formed groups, and sometimes training together for quite a long period, face the problem of what to come up with the name of the dance group. It would seem, what could be easier? But in practice, things are more complicated. Let's figure out how to get out of this rather difficult situation. After all, be that as it may, for each of them it is required - the name of the dance group.
First of all, the name must be invented not for one person, not even for the leader, but for the whole dance group to be involved in this undertaking. In other words, arrange a real brainstorming session. Each idea that will be proposed in its course, write down and consider. And although at first it seems that they do not make sense, it later turns out that it was this idea that helped decide what to name the dance group. Therefore, it is worth writing down all the ideas that arose during the discussion.
The main thing to keep in mind is the fact that the name of a dance group should reflect its essence, style, mood, energy, individuality, even age category. That is, the name of the group should reflect the very essence of the dance group. So it is impossible to treat this issue negligently. After all, as they say, whatever you call a ship, so it will sail.
Basic rules for the name of a dance group
Of course, the name of a dance group is a purely creative process, but even it requires compliance with certain rules. These little tricks will allow you to create exactly the option that will be able to reflect the essence of the dance group:
- When choosing a name, consider the group's genre style, for example, a modern dance ensemble is one style. Accordingly, the name should be suitable for this genre. Hip-hop dance groups should have a completely different name to match this style.
- Also consider the age category, because the name for the children's team requires simpler words and their combinations, more understandable and easy to remember, especially by its members.
- The name should be harmonious, easy to pronounce, no need to use catchy words, even if you really like how interesting they sound. Also avoid long words.
- Start from the national identity of the dance that the group is engaged in.
- If you decide to come up with a name for a dance group consisting of several words, be sure to make sure that they blend well with each other and form a single whole. But do not get carried away with the length of the name, otherwise it will be difficult to remember.
- You shouldn't choose band names that will resonate with existing bands, no matter how much you like them. The thing is that, one way or another, people, having heard it, will draw analogies. And sometimes, unwittingly, they will compare your team with those who already have a similar name. And no one guarantees that this comparison will be in your favor.
- Use words that are familiar to you, for example, some elements of dance, style, costume, country of origin of the dance direction, and so on.
- Remember that the name is the first impression of the team. That is, the viewer, even without seeing the performance, after the announcement of a group of dancers, having heard its name, already draws a certain image for himself, and he has a certain impression in advance.
- Do not forget also about humor, because it often saves the most hopeless situation, including the search for a name for a dance group. Of course, there is no need to step over the line, it is worth remembering the norms of morality. And the name with humor is not suitable for every team.
- When looking for a name for a children's dance group, avoid complex words and phrases, choose those that the dance class participants can easily pronounce on their own and understand their essence.
Dance eras
An excellent solution for how to name a dance group would be a temporary era. Especially if the dances are themed. Or the direction of the dance, some of its foundations, movements were invented in those days. For example, a group that is engaged in ancient dances may be called "Baroque" or "Renaissance". But be careful, the children's dance group does not go well with complex and catchy names. By the way, some syllables can be cut off from the names of eras, as a result of which new words can be obtained, which will become the sonorous name of the dance group.
For ballroom dance groups, the names "Belle Epoque", "Medival" may be appropriate. Taking a historical era or a temporary passage as a basis for the name, do not forget about the stylistic orientation of the team. After all, for example, for a group engaged in Latin American dances, the name "Decadence" is unlikely to be appropriate. But do not be too zealous in the historical binding of the name of the team.
The style of the dance group
The genre direction of the dance group is another hint in the difficult task of choosing a name for it. For example, if you are engaged, it is worth somehow beating this in the name of the group. The same applies to ballrooms: more sophisticated, slightly elevated, graceful names are suitable here. For a hip-hop dance group and other modern dances, there is room to turn around. By the way, if your repertoire contains some frequently performed numbers or a visiting card dance, then you can use their name as the name of the group. Choose unusual names that have a special meaning for your group, which can present you in the right way. Subsequently, the viewer will associate both the dance itself, regardless of its performer, and the word itself with your team.
Name and location
It would be very interesting and original to use the names of rivers, lakes, mountains and other geographical objects as the name of a dance group. You can even call the group some kind of architectural monuments, famous tourist places. For example, the group "Versailles" or "Foggy Albion", or "Pyramid of Cheops". Or "Volga patterns" - the name also speaks of the area, and hints at the style, reflects it, that is, it immediately becomes clear that the dance group is engaged in a folk direction.
Elements of dance
A good idea for the name of the group can also be the names of some dance steps or elements, movements that are specific to your stylistic direction. As a rule, they are harmonious, bright, besides, having heard them, one can immediately guess what genre the group performs in.
The very name of the style can also serve as the name of the group. But keep in mind that in this case it is easy to end up with the same name with other groups, because this technique is used by many. After all, it is quite simple.
Eloquence
Do not forget that the name should be easy to pronounce, pleasant to the ear, not harsh. Of course, some people are betting on originality and the fact that a harsh word will make a person remember the name faster. But, as practice shows, it is easier for people to remember what they liked. Try to insert the chosen name of the group into different phrases and sentences, decline it. Then you can understand how good it sounds.
Ease of perception
The age category of the groups is different, and even more so the audience. Therefore, the name must be selected taking into account that it is easy to understand, both for small fans and parents, grandparents of the team members. Therefore, ultra-modern expressions should still be avoided, the only exception is groups that choose the latest trends in dance. Many call dance groups foreign words. This is a good move, but make sure that the chosen word is easy to pronounce even for those who do not know foreign languages.
Of course, coming up with the name of a dance group is troublesome, but it's worth it. After all, by choosing the right name for the group, you will thereby create a better impression about it and the necessary reputation.
One of them can be a great option for you (Turdion, Dargason, Bassdans). Choose something that is beautiful, unusual, or has special meaning to you (for example, the first dance you learned).
Many dance steps and figures have their own names, you can choose one of them as a name for the group. For example, Riverenza or Cadenza.
The name of the group can be the name of an area or an object that is especially significant for your dance direction. It can be a city, a country, a river, a building, and anything else. For example, Versailles, Albion, Rio de Janeiro. The toponym may not be an independent name, but part of it, for example, "Petersburg Secrets" or "Brazilian Night".
It would be logical for a folk dance ensemble to mention in its name the nationality whose dances are present in the repertoire, or some characteristic feature of this culture. For example, "Celtic patterns", "Tartan", "Galician bagpipe", or at least just Folk Danse.
The name of the group may reflect a dance era or theme, especially if it is about old dances. For example, Medival, Renaissance, Belle Epoque.
The name should correspond to the style of the group and the nature of the dances. The name "Zhuravushka" is suitable for a Russian folk ensemble, but not for breakdance, and if you dance elegant waltzes and country dances, you should not be called "Drunken Trolls Round Dance" or "Wild Horses". This is not so important if you are dancing only for yourself and friends, but if you are counting on a large audience and exhibition performances, come up with a name that you will not have to change later.
As a rule, the name of the creative team appears even before the final composition is established, but there are exceptions. The choice of a bright, beautiful, catchy name for a musical, dance or other ensemble is entrusted either to the founder or to all participants. And in this difficult matter there are a few rules and tips.
Manual
Many bands make a prefix to their name from the name of the style of their work, for example, "Rock-Nabat", "Rock-bell", etc. Such names look peculiar and not always good. It's better to remove the attachment.
In some cases, the team consists of natives from different regions. Play with the names of your hometowns by reading them left to right, right to left, diagonally and vertically. Surely some idea common to all participants will appear.
Some of the participants probably know English, French or any other foreign language. Try to translate everything that you have worked out in the previous stages, look for a word that you like.

Pay attention
When choosing a name, check it against search engines so as not to become a clone of another group.
Children usually like it when a group, team or circle has a name. It is more pleasant to be in a group with the name "Sun" or "Teremok" than in a group with a regular number. In addition, for a group with a beautiful name, you can come up with a beautiful emblem, but for an unnamed team, it is much more difficult to do this, and you still have to come up with some kind of symbols.
Instruction
Kindergarten groups are usually named by adults. In this case, the names of fairy tales, the names of cartoon characters are very suitable. The main thing is that they fit both girls and boys. "Cheburashka" or "Gingerbread Man" is quite suitable for everyone, but "Little Red Riding Hood" is not very good, although you can take it for the name of the entire kindergarten. Suitable for kids and color names. At the same time, it is better to take flowers familiar to children, the names of which do not carry additional semantic loads.
If you decide to come up with a name for a group of older children, be sure to consider their input. You can arrange a general brainstorming session. Let everyone offer their own version of the name and give it a justification.
The first thing to pay attention to is what the group does. The name of the sports team must be different from the name of the soft toy club. A sports team, if it does not belong to a sports organization with its own name, can be named after its location. The name of the area where the training base is located is quite appropriate in this case.
Animal names will do. The main thing is that they do not repeat existing ones. The athletics team could have been called "Kangaroo" if there had not been an international mathematical Olympiad with that name. Therefore, choose another animal, no less dexterous and jumpy.
For the name of a circle where children are engaged in one kind of activity, you can choose something characteristic of this particular direction. The names of theatrical characters for a drama circle will do; names related to the history of your places - for the club of historians or local historians; musical terms - for a musical circle. The main thing is that all children should know them, be able to explain that
Dancing is a great way to always keep in shape not only the body, but also the mood. Dance is always a bright release of good mood and emotions. You can dance everywhere and absolutely to any music, thereby raising your mood and giving joy to the audience.
Choosing a name
And when coming up with a name for a dance, you need to take into account many factors. One of the factors influencing how to name a dance is its performers. If the dance is performed by children, then diminutive suffixes may be present in the name. This is due to the fact that since children will perform it, then the main audience will also be children. But the purpose of the name is to attract a children's audience.
And if the dance is performed with something, then it can be called a dance with something (dance with umbrellas, dance with toys, dance with flowers).
In the case when a dance is staged by professional dancers, it can be called a word in a foreign language, or as a type of the main dance used (tango, flamenco, jive, bachata, merengue).
When naming a dance, you can rely on the costumes used: if the dance is performed in the dresses of the Middle Ages, then the dance can be called the same as it was called in the Middle Ages.
Another unusual way to call a dance is to call it the opposite word. The effect of such a name will be amazing, because the audience expects a dance of one character, but it will be performed in a completely different direction.
In any case, coming up with a name for a dance is not an easy task. You can also solve it by brainstorming: offer all available options for names and choose the most suitable one by voting.
What is the name of the dance group
Coming up with a name for a dance group is also not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Ideas for how to name a dance group must be considered taking into account many factors.
The name of the dance group primarily depends on the chosen direction of dance. If the team performs ballroom dancing, then the name should have something sublime, aristocratic. The name should consist of one or two words that are pleasant to perceive and easy to remember. The invented name should not repeat the name of already existing teams. But at the same time, the name of the dance group should be sonorous and attractive to potential viewers.
When considering how to name a dance group, it is quite possible to brainstorm, as in the case of deciding on the name of a dance. Check the selected variants of names for euphony and how they will sound in different moods (the Rose Petals team, the Rose Petals dancer).

Recently, more and more new dance groups began to appear in Russia. The best of them include the following:
Ballet "Todes". It needs no special introduction, it is very well known not only in Russia. This is a new qualitative phenomenon in the field of art - choreography, which has no stylistic restrictions and frameworks.
Ballet dancers themselves create all modern dance styles, and not just use them. The ballet "Todes" originated in 1987 at an international dance festival by combining a female dance show group with a youth team performing break dance.
The new team was headed by Alla Dukhova, who is still its leader. During its existence, the Todes ballet turned the Russian understanding of dance upside down. Before “Todes”, no one else danced so brightly and piercingly.
Show ballet "Dancity". Professional TV ballet. The team was founded in 2008, it has retained its original composition to this day.
Uses a special approach to staging his numbers, always has a story that is of particular interest to the audience. Always different choreography, spectacular tricks and support - all this does not let the viewer get bored!
Extreme Show "Urbans". A team that has existed for more than ten years and uses the style of musical and dance buffoonery. The rooms are dominated by acrobatic elements of breakdance and capoeira.
"Urbans" is bright, expressive, dynamic dance numbers, interactive and master classes, interesting humorous shows, a huge amount of real professional breakdance, as well as exciting acrobatic stunts.
Dance show "Valery". The team specializes in Latin American and European ballroom dancing. European dances consist of slow and Viennese waltz, foxtrot, tango.
Latin American program includes samba, cha-cha-cha, rumba, jive, as well as Cuban dances (salsa, bachata, merengue). The latest productions are based on: twist, boogie-woogie and rock and roll, which can well convey the atmosphere of "dudes", as well as dances, which were based on the musicals "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago".
These are just a few of the huge number of dance groups that exist and are very popular today in Russia and abroad.
Dance group
The organization of a dance group, like any creative act, is a troublesome and multifaceted matter. The question of the name of the group is usually not that underestimated, but often postponed until later with the resolution "we'll think of something. " As a rule, then it turns out that coming up with a good name is much more difficult than it seemed. The principle “how you call a boat - so it will float” works here too.

Manual
If the dances from your group's repertoire have independent names, one of them may be a great option for you (Turdion, Dargason, Bassdance). Choose something that is beautiful, unusual, or has special meaning to you (for example, the first dance you learned).
Many dance steps and figures have their own names, you can choose one of them as a name for the group. For example, Riverenza or Cadenza.
The name of the group can be the name of an area or an object that is especially significant for your dance direction. It can be a city, a country, a river, a building, and anything else. For example, Versailles, Albion, Rio de Janeiro. The toponym may not be an independent name, but part of it, for example, "Petersburg Secrets" or "Brazilian Night".
It would be logical for a folk dance ensemble to mention in its name the nationality whose dances are present in the repertoire, or some characteristic feature of this culture. For example, "Celtic patterns", "Tartan", "Galician bagpipes" or at least just Folk Danse.
The name of the group may reflect a dance era or theme, especially if it is about old dances. For example, Medival, Renaissance, Belle Epoque.
The name should correspond to the style of the group and the nature of the dances. The name "Zhuravushka" is suitable for a Russian folk ensemble, but not for breakdance, and if you dance elegant waltzes and country dances, you should not be called "Drunken Trolls Round Dance" or "Wild Horses". This is not so important if you are dancing only for yourself and friends, but if you are counting on a large audience and exhibition performances, come up with a name that you will not have to change later.
Pay attention
Be sure to check if there is already a group with the name you have come up with for yourself.
