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 to have a successful season.
