on “performance”. All recreation dance squads learn pom dance style, with
some technique training. The competition dance squads cover a broader

hip hop. For competition squads there is more emphasis on technique, and
evaluations are sometimes held for class placement. Cheer squads focus on
routines that includes dance, cheer, tumbling, and stunting. Grades

Additional Information
Performance Squads
It is very
important you are willing to travel and attend events to perform. There
are out of town events that we will be attending. An event calendar will be
distributed during the first month of classes. There are participant fees
per student for most events, which is determined by the entry fee and
number of students on a team.
Performance Squad
Uniforms
Dance uniforms
are ordered during the first month of classes. Dancers will be measured
during class for sizing. A uniform cost slip will be distributed to each
student listing the payment due date and any accessories needed to
complete their uniform. Cheerleaders will be contacted with a fitting
date/time as well as uniform costs. Performance costs are
NON-REFUNDABLE, no exceptions!
Class observation
You will
be invited to observe your child’s class two times during the season.
Your instructor will invite you into the classroom approximately 15 min
prior to the end of class time. Feel free to bring cameras or video
recorders to catch your child at their best! Parents are welcome to ask
about the progress of their child anytime.
Additional information is provided to registered students regarding class attire,
attendance guidelines, class cancellation policy, and other important
studio news. Check parent news on the
website
for communications and announcements!
Competition
Dance Team
This opportunity is available for 1st-12th
grade students. Class length and costs are broken down by team, and
listed on the website.
All teams are required to attend a team
technique class once a week during the summer session. Ballet and/or Jazz
class is strongly encouraged in addition to team technique during the
summer months. In the fall all competition team members are required to
take ballet. The 1-3rd grade team may choose between ballet or
jazz.
(Click
here for special rates!) In late July and early August team members
will attend choreography workshop(s). All students who wish to
participate on a competition squad must be in attendance for summer
technique and workshops.
The Mini Eclipse team (1st-3rd grades) and Lunar Eclipse team (4th-6th
grades) will learn 3 routines each season, depending upon the skill level
of the group. The Solar Eclipse (7th-9th grades) and Senior team
(9th-12th grades) will learn 4 routines during the season. In some cases
a student may be moved up or down, or the teams may be formed differently
based upon registered dancers. Families are notified when necessary with
any changes to their child’s placement.
Competition
squads mean more dedication…
This includes more class time, an increase in tuition, more competition
fees (multiple routines), and extra uniform costs. However, this can be
very rewarding for your child if she loves dance, is enthusiastic about
attending more often, and has the ability both mentally and physically to
excel. This is a perfect opportunity for children who need more
challenges! If you have further questions or wish to discuss your child’s
placement contact Tracy.
Evaluations are not held for the Mini Eclipse squad. In this age division
most students who want to participate are encouraged to do so. It is good
to speak with Tracy prior to registering if you are unsure. The Senior
team will have evaluations if needed in October.

graders. The Storm cheerleaders are required to attend a team skills

skills class tumbling is strongly encouraged during the summer months.
