**Competition Team Auditions**
Saturday, May 22nd
We are so excited you are interested in our Utah Dance Academy Competition Teams! We have made some adjustments to our Competition Team weekly dance schedule that will begin this coming year. We feel very confident this upgraded dance education plan will elevate our teams to the next level! You are going to love it!
Each competition team dancer (ages 6 and up) will be assigned four hours of dance per week that includes: Classical Ballet, Technique (leaps, jumps, turns, movement), and two classes of choreography. You will also get to choose a fifth hour of dance that is best suited to your needs and personal dance goals! The fifth hour class will be required.
You can take as many add on classes as you would like, but one is required. Each add on class is $32 per month.
ADD ON CLASSES:
Please select the class or classes in the form below that you want to add to your weekly block schedule so we can include it in your tryout on the 22nd. Please take time to decide what schedule you want before you sign up. It is going to be a dynamite year! We can't wait!!!
For our young dancers (Ages 3-5) we have adjusted the weekly schedule to be 2.5 hours of dance each week, with the addition of basic tumbling and dance technique included. ($89 per month) You do not need to select the add on classes when you sign up for tryouts, but if you are interested in additional classes please check the box so we know to expand our schedule for you!
