FAQs
What age is eligible to join the team?
Dancers must be at least 4 years old by the start of the season (July) to join the Company Team. We have both a Junior Team (ages 4–7) and a Main Team (ages 4+), so dancers of various levels and ages can find the right fit.
What if my dancer is new to competition?
No problem at all! We welcome dancers who are just beginning their competitive journey. Our instructors provide age-appropriate training, and our Junior Team is specifically designed for first-time competitors to build confidence and stage presence in a supportive environment.
How many competitions do we attend?
Junior Team dancers participate in one local competition, while Main Team dancers attend 3 regional competitions throughout the season. The exact number of competitions may vary by because both the Junior Team and Main Team may be invited to dance in a National Competition
What’s the time commitment like?
Dancers attend Company Team classes (estimated 2) and recreational classes (8) weekly, all included in the total 10 weekly classes per family included in the membership. As we get closer to competitions or performances, there may be additional weekend rehearsals scheduled in advance.
Are recital fees included?
Yes! Recital performance fees are included in your Company Team membership. This means your dancer can perform their Company Team routines in the recital without additional entry fees. Recreational dance costumes are optional with an additional cost.
What costumes are covered?
Company Team membership includes the costumes for all Company Team dances, including those performed in the recital. However, if your dancer is enrolled in recreational classes that perform in the recital, those recital costumes are not included and must be purchased separately.
What’s the 12th Month?
June is now the 12th Month – Nationals Prep. It’s lighter, allows for vacations, and includes final training before Nationals. It’s required for all Company dancers. Includes extra training, choreography, and preperation in Nationals or special workshops. It’s a powerful way to end the season strong and deepen your dancer’s growth. Families fundraise throughout the season toward the cost of the 12th-Month, and any remaining balance is your responsibility if the team-wide goal isn’t met.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes! We offer a 25% discount for siblings joining the Company Team. This discount applies to the base membership and does not apply to Bonus Month, solos, duets, or trios.
Are solos/duets/trios included?
Solos, duets, and trios are not included in the base Company Team membership. These opportunities are optionaland by instructor approval and involve additional coaching, choreography, and costume costs, billed separately.
Do parents need prior dance experience to support their dancer on the team?
Not at all! You don’t need any dance background to be an amazing support system for your child. We provide all the guidance and communication you need—from what to bring on competition day to how to help your dancer prepare. Our team is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
