Broadway Kids Competition Team

Broadway Kids
Competition Team

The Broadway Kids Dance Team was created for dedicated students who have the desire to enhance their dancing talents, to experience working as a team, and to build their own self-esteem with the experience of performance/competition.

Dancers are asked by the instructor to take a series of placement classes before members are invited to participate in the Competition Team. The instructor’s decision is final regarding these decisions. Invitations are based on a number of aspects, including but not limited to: class performance and participation, technique, ability, stage presence, personality, attendance and attitude.

Only students who will be at least 6 years of age by April 1st, 2007 and have taken at least one previous year of dance at this studio will be considered. Dancers must be taking a technique class in each subject they are performing in on the Competition Team. (If you are dancing in a jazz routine, you must be taking a jazz class in regular classes.)

Our team members work on many concepts during competition practices in addition to their regular dance class, including teamwork, expression, confidence, acting and dancing for an audience. We also implement mentoring within our group to make sure that new members have someone they can ask questions of.

The Broadway Kids Competition Team usually competes at two or three regional competitions in St. Louis and a National competition in Branson. They may also be required to take part in a workshop in St. Louis or another area.

There is a lot of extra time and money involved with this group, but we find that the experience is beneficial to our dancers. Some of our team parents take part in fund-raisers during the year to off-set the costs involved with the competition team.

(Please note, competition classes are in addition to regular classes and there is an additional monthly tuition fee for competition classes as well as additional costume/shoe charges, specific dancewear requirements and entry fees for each competition.)

An information packet will be sent out to those students we feel are prepared to be a part of the team.
Please note that a minimum number of twenty students is required to conduct the full team.
