WHAT IS THIS?
This is the season 12 auditions to join the competitive performance team of Elite Family Dance Company.
WHAT DOES THE SEASON COMPRISE OF?
This season is split into two parts. The first part focuses on competitive performance. We have several performances in Minnesota as well as one out of state performance that we have to travel for. When the first part is close to completion, current season 12 dancers may choose to opt in for part two. To support accessibility, we will be hosting a second audition for the public before starting the second part of the year. There will still be performances being done during the second part however the second part focuses on more creative, artistic, and theatric approach to performance. This leads up to the final production to end off season 12. Overall, as dancers, we learn, train, and build ourselves to be the best we can be in season 12.
