How are Members & Dance Selections decided?

The dance selections are based on the number of years the student has been training/dancing.
Usually, all new team members will begin with 1 to 2 competition dances, in order to become more acclimated with the team’s time commitment and demanding schedule. This will ensure that the student has the opportunity to adjust and have a successful season.
Dance is an individual art form, and each dancer is selected based upon their potential and individual abilities. Competition dance routines WILL have a variety of age levels and skills, this is a strategic strategy for the good of the team. The end goal is to build leadership skills, teamwork, and growth for all dancers.
NCDMA is known for its entertainment value and impeccable technique, all in which foster to the growth of each student and the team as a whole.
Dance selections are made with the best intentions and to build a stronger foundation to the individual dancer.
