• Group Competition Team (minimum 2-3 competitions)

• Only Company Members are eligible to participate in our Competition Team.  Members can participate in a group routine and those who do are eligible for a solo/duo/trio.

• Solo, Duo, and Trio requests will be prioritized based on a company member’s participation in group competition routines. If your dancer would like to request a Solo, Duo, and/or Trio, priority will be given to dancers who are participating in at least one group team routine. 

• As we are still in the planning stages of shaping our group teams, we recommend submitting your Solo/Duo/Trio request with this policy in mind.
