Pre-Competition Team:
For our young dancers aged 3-6 who want to try competition, but aren’t quite ready to dive all the way in.  

• Does not need to attend tryouts

• Tap and Jazz styles (30-minute class for each)

• Will compete at 1 competition during the season (jazz only; tap will be performed in recital at the end of the year)

• Required to take a ballet class (30-minute class)

• An optional additional acro class ($20/month) can be added to work on skills that may be incorporated in the routine.

Team placements are thoughtfully determined by our staff based on teacher recommendations, past performance, class participation, and audition evaluations. In some cases, dancers may be placed on a different team than the previous season to better align with the goals of a specific routine, to balance team dynamics, or to provide growth opportunities. Our priority is to place dancers where they will be challenged, successful, and contribute meaningfully to the team. This may mean returning to a previous team or joining a new one. All placement decisions are final and made in the best interest of each dancer and the team as a whole.

Placement is based on auditions held at the studio in early August.
