What if my child does not make auditions? 

Your dancer will be placed on the appropriate team and strongly suggested to continue to take the tumbling and technique classes to be prepared for January’s 2026 Mid Season Audition. 

What if I miss choreography and audition date? 

Next auditions will be in January 2026.

Can my dancer just take the classes and not participate in our non competitive team? 

In order to be considered, dancers must take all classes to develop their skills and training. Participating in the classes will teach our dancers that you don’t give up or take shortcuts to get what you want. It allows the dancer to learn good sportsmanship and showmanship. 

Will there be any promotions in between now and before auditions? 

No. 

My dancer may need one on one training….. Can they take private lessons and training in and outside the studio?

Yes, we just asked that this be a conversation before proceeding so that the Coach and their Private instructor or training center can be on the same page, especially if you are on our Competitive Team. It limits miscommunication and helps focus on the area of which the dancer needs to strengthen. 

What do the practice days look like? 

Practice Days: NOT OPTIONAL and NON-NEGOTIABLE 

If you have a hectic schedule or sporadic scheduling, please reconsider and try out at your most convenient time.

2025 Summer Schedule

• 2025 June - July: Wednesday’s 6pm-9pm

• Friday’s - Tumbling (Strongly Suggested) 

• Saturday’s - Technique (Strongly Suggested) 

My dancer will be gone during the summer, what do I do? 

Parents must be registered for the season, paying monthly tuition, communicating and being involved on the band app, in/out the studio, taking a class or training while out. Dancer will still be responsible for any assignments and fees due. Ghosting and disappearing for a month's time will automatically get you removed from the team. If your dancer returns after summer break and has made audition cuts and their skill level has dropped they will be asked to reaudition in January 2026. Communication between Coach and Parent is imperative.
