| PERFORMANCE TEAM AGREEMENT |
Who:
Dancers interested in auditioning for Performance Team must:
*Please note that due to limited space, attendance at auditions does not automatically guarantee a position on Performance Team. Acceptance on the team will be based solely on audition scores which will assess dancers on various skills (splits, leaps, switch leaps, toe touches, single/double turns, fouetté turns, etc.), musicality, choreography recall, sharpness, performance quality and general focus/maturity.
What:
Prime Technique's Performance Team is an audition based, non-competitive team that provides serious, committed dancers' additional performance opportunities in styles such as jazz, poms, lyrical and/or hip hop. Performance opportunities may include community service performances, parades, sporting events (Wave, Admirals, Milkmen, etc.), and non-competitive events at amusement parks or other locations. Dancers will have a minimum of 2 to 3 additional performance opportunities and will perform 1 to 2 production dances in our annual recital. Performance Team members will also perform in all three of our shows at recital time.
When:
*Team placement is determined by PTDA staff based on skills, technique and maturity, and all placements are final.
Where:
Auditions and practices are held at Prime Technique Dance Academy. Performance opportunities will be at various locations, and parents are responsible for the transportation of their own dancers to and from performance events.
Why:
To provide serious dancers a fast-paced learning environment to increase flexibility, strength, stamina and dance technique; to learn more complex dance skills; to develop positive attributes such as commitment, time management, collaboration and generosity; to create a sense of belonging among a team; to increase confidence through public performance opportunities, to grow not only as a dancer and individual but as a whole team and dance community!
How:
Reserve your spot in auditions beginning 6/1 by registering via Parent Portal for the appropriate auditions based on your dancers' age. Attendance at auditions does not guarantee a spot on Performance Team. Upon registration you will be charged $70 (audition fee and initial team tuition). If your dancer does not join Performance Team, you will receive a $55 credit applied to your account.
