General Information
Our D.S.D. Competition Team is a traveling competitive dance team. We travel the East coast to attend our
events. We welcome rising 4th grade-12th to audition. Please note that age/grade will not determine team
placement. Technique and ability will be the determining factors for team placement.

Tuition & Costume Cost break-down
We will be fundraising to cover prop costs. Fundraisers are mandatory for all team members.
I hope to see at auditions! We have a lot of fun, work very hard and make memories that will last a lifetime.
I’m looking forward to another great season.
