Practices

We will have in-studio rehearsals on the following dates:

July 8th | 3:00–5:00 PM

July 16th | 3:00–5:00 PM

Homework

Before the first rehearsal, dancers should memorize the choreography for their assigned age group. It is very important that dancers come prepared, as most rehearsal time will focus on formations, transitions, staging, and the overall performance.

Please select the videos based on your dancer’s age as of the performance date.

We recommend dancers watch the videos in this order:

1. Dance Explained Video

2. Dance with Counts

3. Dance with Music

Dancers will likely need to watch and practice the routines multiple times for retention — that’s completely normal and encouraged!

Videos coming soon!
