It's about more than dance.....

This special program is designed for dancers who strive to accomplish an advanced level of training.

It's not just about dance education; it's total education. Team dancers learn life skills through performances, attending unique workshops, working as a team and so much more. Performances include charity benefits, community events, competitions and Dance Spectrum Showcase Performances.

Team members are encouraged to set and achieve goals. Older dancers serve as mentors for younger dancers and all participants are a part of a wonderful team of friends, all of whom are striving to be the best they can be.

• This Competition program is designed for dancers expecting a challenge. It is an advanced dance program, even in the younger divisions.
• The "Company" Program is designed for dancers in pursuit of intense technical training.
• Ballet is the foundation of all competitive programs at the Dance Spectrum. Every team dancer is expected to study ballet weekly. Time requirements are determined by age. If you dislike or do not understand its value to all of the other dance forms, this program may not be for you. With a long history of successful alumni, we've never produced a good Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical or Acro dancer that did not take Ballet seriously.
• Time requirements are determined by age.
• All Team & Company dancers pay a basic Team Fee as well as their regular tuition.
• Entry fees to all competitive and workshop events are the sole responsibility of the dancer.
• All Team and Company dancers have a required amount of classes that they are expected to attend weekly. All team members are required to take a non-performing "specialty" class weekly. Attendance is required and monitored.
• All Team and Company dancers are required to follow a dress code for all of their classes.
• All Team dancers participate in 2 local competitive events. We anticipate these events to take place in the spring.
• Dancers selected for the Company Program participate in regional and national workshops and competitions, in addition to the two local competitions.
• It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that all Team members continue their dance training over the summer at the Dance Spectrum or any other summer intensive program. This is a requirement of all Company members.
