-Our current team is made up of 27 dancers between the ages of 8 & 13, split into 4 smaller groups to give each dancer individualized attention in class as well as on the stage! This year they performed at the Moorestown Holiday Parade as well as 3 dance competitions, bringing home many top awards. They will also be performing the opening number in all of our recitals!
TEAM REQUIREMENTS!

The workshop is once a week for 8 weeks and dancers will be training in ballet and jazz every week while also learning other styles each week!

-The audition will be broken up into 3 sections: Ballet, Tap and Jazz. Students will begin with ballet barre, then learn a combination that will be performed in groups. Students may also be asked to perform some skills across the room with a partner. The same will be repeated in tap and jazz. The audition is for all students. If your dancer is not experienced in one of the three genres, that is ok! We just ask that they try their best and have fun!
-What to Wear: Leotard and tights. Dancers may bring a ballet skirt for ballet and shorts for jazz and tap. Hair MUST be pulled back in a neat bun. Please bring ballet slippers and jazz and tap shoes (if you have them). Slippers can be worn for the duration of the audition if you do not have the other shoes.
