In order to organize our dancers into teams we are goingto hold competition auditions that will allow us tocorrectly place each dancer into a group that best suitsthem. These auditions will take place the weekend ofSeptember 24th and 25th. Your dancer will only need toattend one of these days which is TBD. During tryoutsdancers will showcase their skills with short combinationsof various styles. It is up to the dancer which styles theywould like to try out for. This process will be stress free and fun for all, everydancer who tries out will be given a spot on a team! Therewill be a jazz, tap, hiphop, and lyric group, and we will onlybe doing group dances. Once dancers are placed, achoreography schedule will be sent out with detailedtimes. Most rehearsals will be scheduled on Fridayafternoons from 4:00pm-6:00pm beginning October 21st.We may need to schedule some of the younger group’srehearsals on Saturdays from 12:00pm-2:00pm. This willdepend on the number of dancers who audition.
