Competition Team auditions
We will hold auditions on Saturday, April 1st,
for dancers wishing to participate with the Competition Program in the upcoming 2023-24 season.
Saturday, April 1st
10:30 - 11:00 Rising 1st through 5th graders
11:00 - 11:15 Parent meeting for all interested families
11:15 - 12:00 Rising 6th through 12th graders
Auditions are to let us see who would like to participate, as well as how the group fits together and what age ranges we will have. Any of our current students rising 1st graders and up that would like to participate with the Competition Team are welcome to participate. If you have not participated with the Competition Team before, and think it might be something that would interest your dancer, please reach out to either Wendie or Amanda with questions.
We will speak with dancers and their families at auditions about how many group numbers in which they would like to participate, as well as any solos, duets, or trios. All dancers must participate in at least one group number in order to compete a solo/duet/trio.
We plan to hold some Choreography Camps throughout the summer - we will work out schedules after we know who is performing in each dance, and based on the choreographers' and dancers' availability. This will let us learn the choreography for all of our pieces, and then be ready to practice and clean each week as the new season begins in August
It is important to us to make participating in the Competition program as affordable as possible,
but families should be aware there are some additional costs:
Monthly rehearsal fees (beginning with the new season in August) will be $40 per month, and $35 per month for additional dancers within the same family. Please note monthly rehearsal fees are separate from the "All You Can Dance" rate, or any other tuition pricing, but families will have the same opportunities for discounts if choosing to pay for the semester or year in advance.
Dancers will have one weekly rehearsal as part of their regular class schedules,
and we will have additional Saturday rehearsals that we will schedule around staff and dancer availability.
The studio will cover choreography fees for any group numbers.
Families will be responsible for choreography fees for any solos, duets, or trios for their dancer.
Choreography fees:
Duets or Trios: $75/dancer
Solos: $100
Every competition has entry fees for which families will be responsible. We plan to stay with competitions in our area, to avoid travel expenses.
Families should expect that entry fees for group number will be approximately $50 - $60 per dancer, duets/trios are usually $70 - $80 per dancer, and solos usually run $110 - $135.
We will participate in 2 competitions. (Possibly 3 if there is interest from the dancers and their families.)
We were so proud of our dancers at their first competition in March,
and we're excited that some additional students have expressed an interest in participating next year!
Please do not hesitate to ask us if you have any questions at all. It is important to both of us that all of our programs, including the competition team, serve our students' needs -- our goals are always to provide a safe, fun environment for our dancers, and to help them succeed, not just in dance, but with skills that help them grow into the phenomenal adults we know they're going to be. Awards and trophies are nice, but more importantly is providing our dancers an opportunity to perform in a new environment, learn to work together as a team, and understand the importance of working hard if there is a goal you want to achieve.
And most importantly, just some spend time and have fun with your dance friends!
