Summer Technique Intensives - Students who have completed our audition process and plan to participate on teams in the fall are required to continue training over the summer break. Keeping the body moving, strong, flexible, and coordinated is an important part of being a competitive dancer - this also gives our instructors the chance to see the groups dancing together before choreography begins in August. Instead of meeting 1-2x per week over the course of 6-8 weeks during the summer, dancers will attend an intensive appropriate to their competitive level, age division, and team style. These take place over the course of 1 week and may be 3 or 4 days. Classes are between 1.5 and 4 hours long each day and focus on maintaining and developing technique, increasing strength and flexibility, and creating cohesion and unity in the team's movement. Which intensives and at which level each dancer should attend will be provided to families during your dancer’s team registration appointment. You must attend the intensive to hold your place on each team.
Summer Choreography Camps - Students are also required to attend a choreography camp where they will work on learning the routines for the upcoming year. These will be held the weeks August 12th-15th and 19th-22nd and in various weekends in October with dates/times TBD. Please note that choreography camps cannot be missed as dancers will be learning the majority of their team's choreography here. Choreography camp schedules will be available July.
