All classes are taught by highly accomplished teachers with B.A. and B.F.A. degrees in Dance. We love to share our knowledge and passion for dance with our dancers.
The competition team is for students who want to train on a committed and more serious level. Students will attend classes a minimum of one to three times per week with rehearsal/choreography classes on Mondays and Saturdays. The other core and recital classes are on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays. The team will participate in competitions, workshops and events. Competitive students are required to take all classes provided. Evaluations will be held each year to determine technical placement and group selection for competition. Classes will be determined by a combination of age/ability. Levels may vary from year to year at the discretion of the Director. Group Selections do not coincide with the technique placement. There are different cast lists for each group often combining different ages and abilities. The goal of the competitive team is to gain performance opportunities while working as a team. A code of conduct contract will be required upon commitment to the Company.
