Dance Concepts offers five different levels of technical competition dance teams, and three levels of Hip Hop crews. Technical teams have the option of competing in Jazz, Contemporary and/or Ballet. Team dancers get extra performance opportunities beyond the two recitals we put on each year. Our team attends three competitions year on weekends in the spring and occasionally performs at community events.
Dance Concepts competition team dancers perform at a higher level than other classes their same age. This is in part because of the extra stage time they get each year, and in part because they are in classes with dancers who are more dedicated to becoming their very best.
Team Commitment
Depending on team placement dancers are required to take between 2 and 5 classes a week. Many team dancers opt to do even more than that. Competition team dancers serve as examples to the rest of the studio and are expected to have excellent attendance, be in dress code, and take class with a strong work ethic.
Competitions take place in the spring. Most typically team dances compete on Saturdays and you’ll need to block out the entire day. We normally attend one competition that requires local travel including at least one night in a hotel (e.g. St Geroge).
Beyond tuition, each team dance costs around $250. This includes your entry fee to the competition and your costume.
How to Join a Team
Dancers ages 5 and up are invited to audition for placement. If you missed auditions and would still like to be considered for a team, we’re happy to have you come to an evaluation class. Email us at info@danceconceptsutah.com to set one up.
