Competition Team
Encore also hosts a high-caliber competition team for students who want to compete in dance locally and regionally in solos, duos, trios, and small & large groups. Our team is made up of dancers ages 1st grade and up who want to increase their abilities and dedicate themselves to dance as a sport, and they are selected through an audition process. Entry fees, rehearsal fees, costume fees, etc. are associated with being a part of the team.
Students will participate in 2-3 competitions during the second semester, and the highest scoring solos will perform a recital as well as team pieces. Competitions take place on the weekends. Auditions required.
Competition Team members are allowed 1 absence per month and must attend the rehearsal before a performance. Missing rehearsal will result in having to sit out a performance. Please remember, these are team sports. Team members are counting on you! Students who missed more than the allowed absences for 3 months will be asked to resign from the team and refunds will not be given. Any student who drops out of competition less than 2 weeks before a competition will be charged a re-blocking fee of $50 per dance.
Competition Team has class and rehearsal requirements, for more information, please contact Maggie at (913) 327-4612 or by email.
