PART-TIME & FULL-TIME TEAM SUMMER REQUIREMENTS

AUDITIONS

All dancers must re-audition for our competitive team annually, regardless of previous competitive experience. Auditions focus on the styles offered in our competitive program, including jazz, musical theatre, hip hop, acro, contemporary, lyrical, and tap. Auditions allow us to place dancers where they will be most successful, while allowing dancers to explore different styles.

SUMMER PROGRAMMING

Competitive team members must dance during the summer terms to maintain and enhance skill and technique, ensure dancers are prepared for fall choreography, and - most importantly - for injury prevention.
