For either team, the student must be self disciplined and focused and capable of dancing for up to two hours per rehearsal period.  Absences are frowned upon (illness and family emergencies are an excused absence – maximum 2).  After two unexcused absences, the student is dropped from the program.  Medical absences require a note from the doctor.  Mrs. Neel should always be called or you may text.  Excessive tardiness is also not tolerated.  Teacher recommendation form is mandatory as well as grade check.

ELITE Team works on Mondays and Fridays - 3:00 – 4:30 or 5:00

For ELITE team, we are looking for students who can do FULL splits/toe touches or Russians/high kicks/single turn at minimum/and knows and understands dance terms and can follow directions and pick up choreography quickly.

ELITE Prep is the training ground for ELITE team.  Students will be taught the basics of dance/drill, hip hop/POM/musical theater dance styles.  Again, a self disciplined student is what we are looking for.  

There is minimum monthly donation for each group to pay for choreographers – I will have two new choreographers this year.
