Pre-Teens, Teens, and Senior (Middle School and High School) company members of Fluid and Motion companies, each age division, will learn the same routine as a large group by age division and will perform it together at showcase, community event, and final competition of the season. Dancers will know upon auditions which roster they were accepted onto and will be able to select on their audition form what company they are. If we feel midway through the year a dancer has grown, we may move her from the Fluid roster to the Motion roster. Dancers will have separate Saturday rehearsals leading up to re-block.
All ages required to audition and are placed on a company based on age and skillset!
