DEAC planning for 2012/2013 Company

Interested in Company????

DEAC has 3 competitive companies; Petites (7-9 yrs roughly), Juniors (10-13 yrs), & Teen/Seniors (13 yrs & up).  It is important to note that at times some dancers will compete outside of their age level with older groups based upon skills & technique. 
Participation can include only solo competition,
duet/trio competition, and group competition; but can also be limited based on individual commitments, cost, & concerns.
Competition is a great way to build self-esteem, discipline, & goal setting.  Our goal is to encourage our young dancers to be unique, creative, &; inspired.  Reach for the stars!!!!
 How will the company routines be chosen?
*Through careful observation, DEAC staff will chose Petite, Junior, Teen, & Senior Company competition routines & members based on dancers mixed abilities, technique, performance quality, & overall attitude. Routines can include duets, trios, or small/large groups.  Selection of routines is at the sole discretion of Director/Choreographer/Instructor
 Things to know:  
 
·         Every competitor is required to take a weekly ballet class, jazz class plus an additional technique class per week in the discipline selected for competition.  Also, 2012/2013 Competitors must take ballet, jazz, & 1 supplemental class in the SUMMER of 2012.  Choreography & rehearsals are held on Saturdays during the dance season & select routines will begin in the summer 2012.
·         Petites & Some Juniors will be asked to perform in winter & spring performances, & 1- 2 competitions per year.
·         Junors, Teen/Seniors will be asked to perform in winter & spring performances, & 3- 4 competitions per year.
