Your dancers have auditioned to be part of a team in an accelerated program. We know that these dancers will honor their commitments. We want them to get the most out their training which will include team bonding as well as technical training. And they can count on having many fun and memorable experiences while developing great friendships with their fellow performers
Each Company member is required to take a minimum of 4 classes per week.
2 Ballet, 1 Company Class, 1 Technique Class that supports the Company Class
Dancers are expected to be at ALL rehearsals. Please schedule doctors’ appointments outside of rehearsal times. Quite often when all dancers are not present to learn choreography the rehearsal is a bust. More time must be spent catching up instead of moving forward. Each dancer is very important to each Company and to the entire Team of Company Members. Your support is vital to the accelerated growth of these dancers. We are here to provide the opportunity, encouragement and vehicle for these dancers to perform at a competitive level. We depend on each other for support.
Dancers should miss no more than 3 rehearsals during the season. Please do not be afraid that something horrible will happen should a dancer miss more. However it becomes necessary at that point to schedule extra rehearsals with the entire group. That can be problematic given our busy family and life schedules.
Dancers are expected to be at ALL classes. It is sooooo important to remember that artistry is dependent on technique in dance and vice versa. Technique classes are a must should we want to grow. All absences must be made up.
Please check Company Bulletin Board often for schedule updates, upcoming performances and competitions, and rehearsal additions and changes.
Here’s to a great year!
