‘23-24 Team Agreement
We will also be offering to take soloists to additional regional competitions to offer more opportunities to compete, receive critique, build strength and confidence. Team members are required to have team warm ups, dance bags and garment bags for travel. We will be offering these items for reasonable prices in August- September. Competition team is a commitment for the whole family of time, energy and money. That said, it is also a fun adventure for both the dancers and the families. Our team is a very close group of families who enjoy the experience of competition together, sharing good times and making great friends. For our dancers, team gives these young artists knowledge, confidence and skills that can carry them on to dance and theater careers or any career of their choosing.
