Elite’s auditions for our Performing Company Teams and Competitive Company Teams will be held on Sunday June 1st. We will have a company informational parent/dancer meeting on Tuesday May 27th at 7 pm. Company dancers are trained in Tap, Hip Hop, Ballet and Jazz.
Some examples of performance events/opportunities for our Performing Company Dancers are: Blazer halftime performances, Jr. Rose Festival Parade, Holiday Show and a Broadway master class. Competitions/conventions we have attended in the past have been Onstage New York, Thunderstruck and Jump. Historically we have danced in a parade in Disneyland in April. Our performing company went to New York last December and attended a Broadway stage performance and show, danced in Times Square and attended a Rockette master class and show.
Competitive Company dancers attend about 8 conventions/competitions each season with the option to attend several more. The conventions offer opportunities to compete in solo, duo or trio routines along with their team routine. Some of our team bonding experiences are zoo trips, fall group photo session, pumpkin carving and overnight sleepovers at the studio. This season we will compete at Nuvo, Starpower, Jump, 24 Seven, Onstage and Fly Dance. Our competitive teams consistently receive awards in the following categories: Best In Studio, Golden Ticket, Regional Champion, Entertainment Award, and Top Choerographer.
