Excellence at Every Level
Our teams are comprised of the very best and more humble and friendly dancers in the metro west area, hands down. The training is fun yet rigorous and designed to inspire dancers who have the desire to push themselves. Our dancers go on to be professional working performers as well as having successful college or post high-school school dance experiences.
Our 2022-2023 season has been completely redesigned bringing together all the best of what we’ve learned through the years. We have 6 teams that we will draw from to develop specialized groups and a diverse portfolio of work. Each team has been designed based on level.
THE SPARKS: A beginner team of our most electric little ones who have caught the dance bug early. We can’t wait to see them thrive and grow this coming season. These dancers train 3.5 hours per week minimum.
TEAM INSPIRE: Advanced Beginner dancers who have demonstrated their commitment and enthusiasm for dance. These dancers are hungry and eager to work hard and absorb all they can. These dancers train 5.5 hours per week minimum.
TEAM ENERGIZE: Intermediate level dancers who have demonstrated their commitment and enthusiasm for dance. These dancers are hungry and eager to work hard and absorb all they can. These dancers train 8-10 hours per week minimum.
TEAM EMPOWER: High intermediate level dancers who have what it takes to lead one another to greatness, to empower themselves and one another to push. These dancers train 8-10 hours per week minimum.
TEAM AMBITION: Advanced level dancers who are not only ambitoius but they are humble. These dancers are emerging as artists and young leaders in our dance community. These dances were chosen because of their focus, dedication and commitment to excellence. These dancers train 8 – 12 hours per week.
THE GRIT TEAM: Advanced level dancers are artists, athletes and role models to our dance family. These dances were chosen because of their focus, dedication and commitment to excellence. These dancers train 8 – 20 hours per week.
PLACEMENT
Competition team placement is by invitation only. Criteria is based on technical skills and overall ability. Commitment to dance, enthusiasm, motivation and team/studio spirit are an absolute prerequisite. If you are interested in being invited to our competition program, please email Miss Abigail. Miss Robin can help design a schedule of classes for your dancer to prepare him/her for the future opportunity of being on one of our teams/companies.
For the 2022-2023 Season we have spent the entire year redesigning our program and are excited to see it evolve and succeed. Placement is not based solely upon age, it is based on ability and team dynamics. We spend a tremendous amount of time and effort designing each team and considering each dancer as an individual.
Auditions & Invitations
We strongly encourage each dancer to spend at least 1 dance season taking the following AFDS classes. Ballet, Technique, Tap, Jazz & Lyrical. Dancers who are currently enrolled in those classes will be preparing for what it’s like to be on one of our well-rounded teams.
If you are from another studio and would like to know more about our competition program, feel free to call (781) 449-4800. All new student auditions will be held in June by appointment only.
Competition dancers are expected to attend all competitions that are assigned by the studio as well as at least 1 outside dance convention per year. The number of competitions goes up with the age and abilities of the dancers. See requirements below for each team.
