Competition Team Tryout & Parent Meeting Information

Summer Commitments-
“The More you Train in the Summer the More prepared you are in the Fall”

June- All our Competition & Premier Students need to attend at least 1 technique class in our June 4 week session. (ex. Ballet, Turns & Leaps). If you are currently on a Premier Team (preparing for Nationals) National practices count for this. We of course encourage doing more then one class. We offer many combo classes (Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, Hip Hop), flexibility and conditioning classes, and much more! We have a lot of NEW classes on the schedule for this summer! If you are out of town for a class, pick another class to attend to make it up on a week you are here. We want them to get all of the classes in! (See Summer Schedule online asap and sign up today!) Classes run June 4th-27th.
July- All our Competition & Premier Students need to attend at least one 3 day intensive in July (no matter their age). 1st technique intensive, 2nd technique intensive, or the Ballet intensive. (You can obviously sign up for more than one)
August- All our Competition & Premier Students need to attend the team camp in August.
