Competition team dancers are required to compete in one competition each spring, but we give several other optional competitions that dancers can take advantage of each season. Dancers also get to attend dance conventions, where they can train with dancers from other studios and guest instructors. At the end of the season, the competition team also performs in an additional performance, our end-of-season showcase. Sign up here.

A December to Remember ON STAGE REHEARSAL
Everyone dancing in the 12:00 and 3:00 shows on December 14th should attend this on stage rehearsal. We will run ALL December to Remember dances on stage for spacing and lighting purposes. This rehearsal will be fast-paced and will begin promptly at 9:00am, so we ask that everyone please arrive in between 8:30 and 8:50am to be ready to go. Following this rehearsal at 11:00am, dancers who are only performing in the 3:00 show are dismissed and free to go home until their call time at 2:15. Dancers performing in the 12:00 show will need to stay at the theater to prepare for the performance. PLEASE SEND YOUR DANCERS TO THIS SHOW WITH HAIR AND MAKEUP ALREADY DONE. I acknowledge that this will be a hectic day and I appreciate and thank you in advance for patience, cooperation, and making sure to read all instructions before the show day.
Special notes: We will NOT hold regular classes at the studio during this rehearsal. Creative Movement dancers SHOULD NOT attend this rehearsal time. ALL Creative Movement Dancers should arrive 45 minutes before their show time and teachers will go over the dance with them on stage during that time before helping them into their costume.

Special notes: We will NOT hold regular classes at the studio during this rehearsal. Elementary dancers will have a lot of waiting time as they are each only in one dance. They should bring something to entertain themselves and snacks while waiting for their turn to dance. They will also be allowed to watch the company rehearsing while they wait for their turn. Our goal is to be done by 10:00pm, however, we always leave extra time when trying to set the complicated lighting and technical cues in the theater and appreciate parents’ patience. Elementary dancers are dismissed as soon as we are done running the show. All Elementary III dancers should arrive by 6:30 for rehearsal.
