A competition dance instructor will assist in choosing what style each student will compete in as a soloist. Then students will work 1:1 with their instructor to learn and perfect their routine, where they then will be able to go on stage alone against students in similar age divisions at competitions.

* Please note that a choreography fee of $200-$300 per routine will be charged depending on the choreographer. Students will then be able to continue with private lessons throughout the season to adjust, practice, and perfect their solo routines.

HOW DOES MY CHILD JOIN THE COMPETITION TEAM??

Evaluation Days

During our Summer Session we ask all students to choose a day of class during session. There is a fee of 10$ for each evaluation, and students must be evaluated for each discipline they are wishing to participate in. This evaluation is used to gauge the students skill level to properly place them in a group with students of similar level and skill, where students can continue to learn and grow as a team.

Choreography Camp

After evaluated and placed in their level, students will be welcome to sign up for our Choreography Camp running from July 29, 2024 through August 2, 2024. There is a $90 fee per routine At this camp students will learn the choreography to ensure smooth practices throughout the year. Student will only need to sign up for the days of Choreography week that include the styles they are participating in.
