This can be done during our Strictly Hip Hop Dance Intensive (Aug 13-14), or the first two weeks of classes- click HERE for more audition info. Readiness to compete is at the discretion of the instructor and is based not only on ability but also the student’s dedication, effort and attendance!
- Full Season Commitment is required (Sept 2016-May 2017). In order to give our dancers the greatest opportunity to advance their skills and experience level, our competitive program requires a full season commitment with an emphasis on regular attendance, effort and dedication. We value the ‘team’ experience and the positive benefits it has on a student’s growth therefor it is expected that all participant’s (and parents) make classes, rehearsals and performances a top priority.
- All Youth Company members must maintain a minimum of 2.5hrs of training/week in order to further their techniques and step up to the high level of competition expected this year. Since their regular class is 1.5hrs, this means choosing at least one additional performance or rec class. Top recommendations are the Foundations 2.0 technique class or Breakin 12yrs+.
