DSD COMPETITIVE DANCE TEAM
Welcome to the DSD Competitive Dance Team section of our website.
Our dance team is a wonderful opportunity for our students to push themselves to the next level of dancing. In addition to weekly choreography rehearsals, we also provide intense conditioning to help keep our team participants at the top of their game. Our season runs from August-May. We work very hard but have fun and make a lot of lasting memories while doing it. Team rehearsals are structured slightly different than our weekly classes. Team placement is not determined by age or grade, instead placement is determined by technique and ability displayed in your audition. We welcome rising 4th-12th grade students to audition. This year we are having to run team auditions slightly different due to current Covid restrictions and guidelines. We will hold in-studio audition opportunities, but will have to limit the number of participants to ensure social distancing safety. Parents will be asked to wait outside as opposed to in our lobby. Thank you for your understanding.
Our open auditions will be held on:
- Saturday, July 25th from 9:00am-11:00am at Dawn's School of Dance.
