COMPETITION TEAM
What is competition dance?
Our competition team is comprised of various levels; Mini, Junior, Pre-Teen and Senior teams. Competition Team is by tryout/invite only. If your are new to GDA and are interested in being considered for our teams, please let us know and we will be happy to set up an evaluation. We have auditions in the summer. Our competition dance program is set up to allow dancers the opportunity to train and compete at a higher level of dedication to the art of dance.
What are the class requirements?
Competition team members are required to be enrolled in one of our core combo classes that emphasizes technique. In addition, the students are required to be a part of a 45-60 minute class weekly for group numbers.
What is the financial commitment?
You will have monthly fees based on your students total hours of training a week. At minimum, this will be 90-120 minutes a week of classes. Costumes, warm-up jackets, competition registration fees, hotels and travel expenses are all the responsibility of the dance families. For our upper level teams there may be an additional choreography fee for the group numbers, solos, etc.
Can we just do a solo?
In order to qualify for a solo, the dancer must be in a group routine and have instructor approval. We do not guarantee solos for everyone.
