PART-TIME COMPETITIVE
The part-time competitive program is designed for dancers who are looking for the thrill of competition, while training in multiple disciplines 2-3 days a week. Our part-time company will train 4-6 hours a week in ballet, contemporary and jazz, working towards competing in 2-3 local competitions a year. The competitive team will have weekly ballet and jazz technique classes to develop their skills, as well as choreography classes to expand their movement vocabulary and expression.
Dancers must audition in order to be considered for the team, and will then be placed in either the novice, mini, junior, intermediate or senior company based on their age and ability.
