Choreography:
·
In
order for your dancer to benefit from more advanced
technique instruction,
we will be adopting a new format for competition teams
similar to other
championship level studios. Tap and Hip Hop class
instruction shall remain as
we are currently structured. With the exception of
Junior 3 and Teen 2 lyrical,
our lyrical and jazz class time will be spent working on
TECHNIQUE, and
combinations that also help our dancers adapt to a
faster paced learning
environment. Then, we will be teaching the choreography
separately on weekends
for jazz, lyrical, open & contemporary categories so
that more groups have the
opportunity to compete.
This is the industry standard that most of the
competitive studios follow. This
allows the dancers the time they need to learn the
routines without having to spend
numerous extra hours and tuition of weekday class time.
We anticipate that it will be
two weekends in October, two in November, one or two in
December. We will let
you know the tentative schedule by the end of August.
Our goal is to be ready for the competition season in
January. After the first of the year,
we will start to work the routines into class time when
feasible and then have some
extra
rehearsals right before the competitions.
ALL Competitive team members are required by the studio
to purchase
a "Spirit Pack" to wear at all competitions and studio
events.
Each Spirit Pack includes:
Dance Designs jacket and long pants, t-shirt, dance
shorts, and dance bag.
The price of the spirit pack will be approximately
$150.00 - $180.
This price includes the studio name, student's name,
and logo.
This will be due during the month of October. |
