Competitive Team
LADC COMPETITIVE SHOW TEAM
This program is offered for the serious minded, enthusiastic and passionate dancer! Our Show Team members experience the ultimate rewards and thrilling sensations of the art of dance, competition and performance. Being a Show Team member builds confidence, self-esteem, time management and teamwork. Show Team helps you find the "passionate dancer inside" and lets you share the excitement for dance with a supportive and loving team.
In the past twenty years, the dance world has changed immensely. Dance competitions and conventions have become a major force in the dance world and we feel (along with America's other top schools) that when handled correctly without undue pressure competitions are a fun and exciting way for the dancers to show off their abilities and hard work to be educated by seeing other top-level students and to become acquainted with well known teachers, performers and choreographers.
Auditions for the LADC Show Team provides this opportunity for students who wish to take part in an accelerated program of study. Being a member of the team gives the student opportunity to compete at the regional and national level in dance. Members for the LADC Show Team are selected at the beginning of October. Prerequisites to be invited to audition is a student who takes all ballet, tap and jazz.
Selection as a member of the company is NOT automatic after a certain number of years of dancing. Instead, it is based on evidence of natural dance potential , hard work and concentration in class, a good attitude towards correction and towards classmates, and a high level of family support as evidence by near-perfect attendance, little or no tardiness and on-time tuition payments, These elements are crucial to succeeding as an individual member and for the overall success of the team.
An informational parents meeting will be held a week prior to the audition which is held the beginning of October. Our Show Team members have a commitment from October - July and ends with our annual show. If you have missed this year's Show Team auditions we recommend taking ballet, jazz and tap classes this year to prepare for the next year's audition. This is a wonderful experience for any dancer. Please contact us for more details.
