Required Competitions for 2022-2023 Season

Our entire company is required to attend three regional dance competitions. As competition schedules are not released until the week prior to the competition, we suggest you block these dates off in your calendar now so that you can be available the entire weekend. Even if dancers are not performing that day, they may be asked to come watch group dances for teammates younger or older than them to support them and cheer them on backstage! At Premiere we want to build dancers with strong character who are team players and encouragers. Supporting the team as a whole is a priority to us!
February 3-5 - Starquest, OKC
April 14-16 - Encore, OKC
April 21-23 Stage One, OKC

*Pre-Company will attend Showbiz, OKC from Feb 17-19 and Bravo, OKC from May 12-14
We are aware that Stage One is the same weekend as the Sooner Theatre showcase currently. However, Stage One will work with us on scheduling our dances so that the dancers involved in Sooner Theatre can attend both events.

Nationals

For Nationals 2023 we will be attending the Odyssey National Dance Competition at the Shangri La Resort in Grand Lake, OK. It will take place from June 15-18.

This season Nationals is an optional competition! (Starting in 2024 Nationals will be mandatory!)​

Nationals Practice Week

Nationals practice week will be from June 8 - June 14th and is required for anyone attending nationals. It is too difficult to schedule around various summer conflicts, and it is hard when rehearsals are spread over several weeks, so we as that you hold this week open for any nationals practices that are needed. 

NEW! Wednesday and Thursday Rehearsals

This season some small groups will rehearse on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays. If your dancer is cast in one of these groups, and unable to make it on Wednesday and/or Thursday, we will not be able to adjust the rehearsal day. As such, if you are not flexible to come on the day that it is scheduled,  you will need to be removed from that group. 

Absence Policy

​Attendance to class and company rehearsals are mandatory. Acceptance into this company is a commitment both in time and dedication. We only accept dancers who WANT to improve and attend class and rehearsals regularly. If a student needs to miss a rehearsal at any time they must fill out an absence request via our Google Form one week in advance.
Company Rehearsal Attendance: Not showing up without significant notification is not acceptable. Each dancer will only be allowed 3 absences for rehearsals for the season. After absence number 3, they will not be allowed any additional absences and punitive action will be taken. In addition, THERE WILL BE NO APPROVED ABSENCES FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY AND EARLY FEBRUARY. Those rehearsals are the most important of the entire year, and affect the success of our team as a whole. 
Technique Class Attendance: Company members are allotted 3 absences from their required technique classes for the school year. If a company member misses more than three required technique classes they are required to make-up their missed class in another level. Parents/dancers, please stay on top of your attendance. If you know that you will be missing a class, you are more than welcome to do a make-up class in advance. If a student is ill, but not contagious, they are required to attend class and/or rehearsals and observe. Students are required to attend all classes and rehearsals during the week of a competition.
