COMPETITION COMPANY

Our competitive dance company is a great opportunity for girls who exhibit a natural talent and drive, as well as train and compete at a more intense level. Styles of dance our competition company may compete in include Musical Theater, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap, Hip Hop, & Lyrical. Company members practice one extra evening per week and compete in a minimum of three local competitions per season. Members also have the opportunity to compete in Solos, Duets/Trios, Small Groups, & Large Groups. Auditions are in the spring of each year. 
Below are important dates as well as guidelines that are required of our competition company dancers during the 2019 - 2020 season.
WHO: Dancers ages 6 & up (as of Sept. 1, 2019)
AUDITIONS: Sunday, May 19th, afternoon (time TBA)
SUMMER REQUIREMENTS: dancers must attend at least 4 weeks of summer classes (June - July 26) * competition dancers usually have class on Tuesday's and Thursday's during those weeks.
SUMMER CHOREOGRAPHY DATES: dancers must be available August 6 - August 19 to learn competition dances.  Minimal conflicts during this time can be approved in advance.  But, they must be available for the majority of those dates so we can schedule everything accordingly.  They will not be scheduled for every one of these dates.  An exact schedule for those dates will be announced in mid-July.  FOR EXAMPLE, if a dancer is in one competition dance, they will be scheduled approximately 6-8 hours over a 2-3 day period.
