Dancers can choose/request what teachers they want to work with & have them choreograph their routine (no guarantee for first choice of instructor).
Dances must be completed by September 1st and regular, once monthly minimum rehearsals must be scheduled with instructor for remainder of dance season.

Dancers can compete at any competition their Company dances are attending.
requirements
Regularly scheduled rehearsals are required until the dancer(s) have retained their entire dance (choreography). At least one 30-60-minute rehearsal per month.
After the dancer(s) have a confident grasp of their choreography, a minimum of one rehearsal per month is required for the remainder of the season.
Additional rehearsals may be necessary if the instructor feels the dancer(s) is/are not ready to compete.
Solos, Duets & Trios require a lot of self-practice outside of the studio. If a dancer (or group) is not fully committed, the instructor has the final say, as to whether or not the dancer(s) is/are ready for competition.
If interested, talk to Ms. Katie at your audition to make arrangements and schedule your first rehearsal.
