SCORING / EVALUATION

 Keep in mind the audition is just one part of the process. your audition OFFICIALLY started the FIRST DAY of class LAST SEASON. Through out the Season, summer and all interactions, Instructors take notice of your progress, attitude, work ethic, behavior, Dress Code Compliance, commitment, & attendance. These factors combined with your scores will determine your placement.

Do not compare your journey to someone else’s - Like the sun and the moon - you will shine when its your time.

Please prepare Yourself that competition for Company levels is HARD. many students do not make it their first time trying out. If you do not make It - Do not give up!! A Committed dancer will improve in aNY CLASS if they apply themselves. Promise yourself - that No matter the Results - You’ll keep your chin up, Keep working hard and keep dancing!! We love You and are ALWAYS routing for you!
