All competition team members will be permitted to compete as a solo act this year. However, students will be responsible for their competition fee as well as solo lessons at the studio.

Competition solos will not perform in the recital (other than staff members).

Competition Solo fees:

$70.00 per entry

$60.00 per month, on top of usual monthly fee.

*Scheduling is limited, so also be very available on the weekends if interested.

Duos & Trios:

Select Competition Students will be chosen by the studio to compete in duos and trios. We will have a fundraiser in the fall to cover the duo/trio entry fees. Duos and trios will not perform in the recital.

***Competition Moms***

In order to make competition fees more affordable and be able to compete in more routines we will be setting up a Competition Moms Group. These moms will be in charge of setting up fundraisers for the students throughout the dance season. All fees must be raised no later than April 1st. Each competition dancer will have an account. All funds raised will be divided equally to those students who participate in the fundraising. In the end students will be obligated to cover any additional fees that the fundraisers didn't cover. If you are interested in helping out and becoming part of the Competition Moms Group than please email Miss Melissa.

*Competition solo fees will not be included in fundraising.
