Team dancers work throughout the year to prepare routines for regional competitions, a national competition, conventions, and workshops with dance professionals.
Auditions
Auditions are held in May for the upcoming fall season. Students may audition after turning age 5 by January of the current year, and teams are placed by age and ability.
