ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TAKING YOUR DANCING TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

Then our PERFORMANCE TEAMS are for you! 
Dancers ages 3 and up are invited to participate in our performance team!

2022-2023 PERFORMANCE TEAM PARENT MEETING AND PLACEMENTS
Parent Meeting: July 21st at 6:00pm

Everyone interested in being on the team will be accepted. We only use ages as guides. All children will be placed in the group that fits their level, age, skill, maturity, etc.

Performance teams will be held to a higher standard as we will be performing at multiple events throughout the year, representing Maxwell Dance Studio. This is for the most committed dancers.

Class Requirements: Team Members will be required to take 2-4hours of classes a week depending on age and team. As a guide, the younger the dancer, the less hours a week he/she will take. 

Team Classes: Team dancers will be expected to take a choreography, technique, tumbling and conditioning. We are considering also including a ballet class in this requirement. It is TBD how that will impact the hours per week.

Attire:  Team members will be required to have a class uniform that will be ordered from Maxwell Dance Studio. These must be worn to EVERY TEAM CLASS and they may perform in them.

Attendance:  Attendance is VERY important for teams as everyone is counting on everyone to be there. If you plan to have your child miss dance often, this team is not for them. Instructors reserve the right to remove dancers from pieces for poor attendance.

Costumes: Each team may learn 2-3 dances, so each dancer will get 2-3 costumes and they will be worn to multiple performances.

Start date and Commitment:  Teams will have a summer camp that will be mandatory. Summer classes are STRONGLY encouraged. Regular team classes will begin mid August. This class is a year long commitment. By participating you agree to continue until July 4th of 2023. 

Performances:  It is our goal to have at least 3 Christmas performances, and 3 Spring/Summer performances.  We will perform at the Dickens Festival, Festival of Trees, Care Centers, sports events, malls, city events, parades, etc. Attendance will be mandatory to these events. I will have the schedule to you as early as possible so you can plan accordingly. 

Financial Requirements: 
Team fees are  approximately $700-$850. It includes warm ups, uniforms, costumes, shoes, recital fees, bag, and more. These fees must be paid in full by November 25th.  

In addition to team fees you will have tuition which is calculated according to the main tuition scale. 

Fundraising:  
We know how incredible of an opportunity this will be for students and we do not want finances to get in the way of them joining the team. We will have 2-3 fundraisers  to help team members raise funds to allow them to pay for costumes, team uniform and shoes. We will also have Group Fundraisers that all families will be expected to participate in.

Parent Meeting and Placement: Before you attend placements, we will hold a 1 hour parent meeting for you to gain all the information you need to know to decide if Team is for you. This parent meeting is mandatory, and must be attended if you would like your dancer to participate in team. Team is a commitment and that starts with you attending the parent meeting.

All dancers that want to participate on team will be given the opportunity. No one will be turned away. If you have any questions let me know.
