Qualifications
Competition is not for everyone, but should your child be approached regarding the team, this means that we recognize the talent, potential, and hard work that is displayed by your child. We acknowledge their capabilities and feel that they are not being met as a recreational dancer.
Being on the team involves dedication and commitment from both the students and his/her parents. The dancers spend hours together rehearsing, fundraising and participating in planned events. The teams become very close and friendships blossom throughout the years.
Additional information will be provided regarding
