Competition Team Choreography Schedule

Hello Competition Teams, 

Please find our choreography schedule for the 2017-2018 season.  Please add all dates/times to your schedule.  If you cannot attend choreography due to an already planned vacation or school, we understand.  However, we ask that you find someone from another team that can fill in for you during choreography times.  If this applies to you, please let your respective coach know of your planned absence and who you have filling in your spot.

Acro Class Assessment/Registration

After careful evaluation of our acro program's levels and based on our student's needs, we have have added a level to our acro curriculum.  Registration for our acro classes is now open. However, in an effort to maximize student participation and success, as well as proper progression of technique, all students must have mastered the skills in the previous class in order to move up in classes.  Please take a look at the skills listed under each level.  If you feel that you can easily identify what level your dancer is in, go ahead and register.
