2013 Competition Information

General:

·         Dance Competitions are for serious dancers looking to explore the fun world of performing in front of thousands of other dancers.  Dancers must have depth in Technique, Flexibility, Strength, Positive Attitude, knowledge/understanding and usage of the 3D policy (Dedication, Discipline, Determination), and keen sense of Respect and Accountability, plus willing to spend extra amounts of time rehearsing. Lastly it is important to realize in order to compete it costs money.  Dancers who believe they are ready need to fill out all of the following comp paperwork and sign it along with a guardian and Cortney will choose dancers she believes can withstand the commitment, and portray the necessary confidence needed for competition.  If you are chosen to compete rehearsal times need to be scheduled immediately and half of all fees need to be paid up front.  A raffle fundraiser will be held just for dancers signed up to compete in order to help with expenses.  Note:  most rehearsals for comp will take place on the weekends due to limited time available during the week.  My goal is to have all comp numbers ready to perform in our spring show! I would also like dancers to commit to as many comps as possible with Disney being priority #1 and Vegas priority #2 if possible.  I also want each dancer to participate in at least one group number.
