Description Of Our Team
Our Competition Dance Teams were created for dancers who “live, eat, drink, and breathe” dance; who regard dance as their most important extra-curricular activity.
- If you are a dancer ages 5-18, who is heavily involved in sports or cheer-leading (and/or many other activities) then our competition teams would not be right for you. It would be better for you to be in a regular dance class where you could enjoy performing without the commitment that a performance team requires.
- For our younger competition team dancers (ages 5-8), we realize that it is too early in your life to choose only dance, and that you need to also participate in other activities, so we will work with you on that scheduling.
- Our competition dance teams are chosen by audition. We hold auditions in the spring, right after our Spring Dance Recital. Competition teams are for the school year, Sept 2010—May 2011.
Dancers perform in the community at basketball games, high school drill team events, parades, our recitals, etc. They also participate in conventions (master classes taught by professional choreographers from LA and New York) and compete in 1-5 competitions, depending on the age of the team. Approx. 9-13 performances per dance year.
Costumes
Each team dancer generally purchases 3-4 costumes for her team dances, as well as a ballet costume for her ballet class. |

“I just wanted to take a moment of your time to just say thank you for giving my daughter the opportunity to perform with the competition team this year! She has so enjoyed being a part of your studio’s team dancing. I have just watched my daughter blossom with confidence and pride over the past year. She’s anxious to keep going, and we’re behind her 100%. It has made her realize her potential, and come “out of her shell!” Thank you so much for making each of your dancers feel so special! ~Nicole
