Additional Choreography & Placement Process
Placement by the program director is required to perform additional choreography on the Competitive Dance Team.
Athletes interested in solo, duet, or trio choreography will be evaluated by the artistic director, and chosen based on age, ability, experience, and commitment. The athlete will be assessed on their strength, technique, flexibility, and artistry in Acro Dance. Coach recommendations and prior class progress will also be considered.
Athletes should be prepared to demonstrate clean execution of skills appropriate to their level, as well as the ability to learn and master set choreography.
