COMPETITION PROGRAM INFORMATION
CAROLINA DANCE CAPITAL strives to be the best of the best in all its programs. Our competitive program offers its dancers instruction and growth in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Hip Hop and Contemporary dance.
BALLET and regular TECHNIQUE CLASSES are a vital part of what makes a dancer successful, well rounded and most importantly well trained. We are careful to match students to technique and ballet classes that are conducive to their age level and ability! Competitive dancers at CAROLINA DANCE CAPITAL age averaging 9 or higher, take regular 2 hour technique classes once a week, and ballet twice a week, as these classes are required for dancers who compete in all disciplines of dance, except for hip hop.
The AUDITION PROCESS this season begins on July 25th and ends August 19th.
AUDITIONS / Master Classes will be held at the end of the last week
Students learn new combinations each week and enjoy the various styles they are exposed to as the weeks progress. This means that when a student is out of town, and comes in after the classes have been in session, they are not behind - merely responsible for knowing what they learned in classes they attended.
COMPETITION TEAMS are chosen and categorized by age averages and skill. Students are placed where they can grow, be inspired and challenged throughout the season ahead! We offer groups for all ages and levels of dance. It is important to us that instruction is offered to all levels, giving each child an equal opportunity.
GROUP CHOROGRAPHY FEES are only paid when a choreographer from outside our studio is hired to come in and choreograph a routine for us. ANY group routine choreographed by our own award winning staff is not charged any choreography fee. Typically there is an average of only 5-6 routines per season for which we hire outside choreographers, and those students involved in these routines do so by choice.
SOLOS, DUETS AND TRIOS are offered to ALL students regardless of age, experience or level! It is our belief that dancers grow so much working on a special number as such, and we offer this to ANY dancer(s) interested.
WEEKENDS are used for only occasional rehearsals and solo, duet, trio choreography.
CAROLINA DANCE CAPITAL DIRECTORS/TEACHERS are enthusiastic and honored to do what they love as a career. We take pride in every student we teach, and feel they are all a reflection of who we are. We strive to instill self worth, high self esteem, team work and good morals in a positive family atmosphere to every child we instruct! We are readily available to discuss your interests and answer any questions you might have regarding this program.
