Competitive Team Requirements

Dancers are accepted onto the Competitive Teams based on skills, audition results and recommendation of their class instructors and/or Studio Director. Full participation on the Competitive Teams commands honor as well as responsibility; dancers on the Competitive Teams take class several days a week, and are required to adhere to the Competitive Code of Responsibility and act as ambassadors of the dance academy.  Participation on the competitive teams is available to students who have achieved a technical level of accomplishment commensurate with their level.
