Competitive Dancers
All dancers interested in being a part of our Competitive dance team must attend an audition in early September, the week before classes start. Dancers will be chosen/placed in classes according to ability, experience, and at the teacher's discretion.
All competitive dancers and their parents must sign a competitive contract at the beginning of the season, declaring their commitment.
Competitive dancers must adhere to strict guidelines concerning class attendance, as well as attendance for extra rehearsals on weekends.
Additional fees are required for competitive dancing to pay for supplementary rehearsals, competition entrance fees, costumes and administration. Parents should consider travel expenses as they are a by-product of being a part of the competitive team.
