*************************************************
Interested in auditioning for METstar’s Competition Teams???
We
will have 4 teams:
Twinkles (ages 5-7),
Petite (ages 7-10),
Juniors (ages 9-12)
Senior (ages 13-18).
Auditions for Ages 8& up will be held Sunday, June 24th
at the Woodbine Studio from 3:00 – 5:00pm. Please bring jazz shoes
and tap if auditioning for tap.
If
you cannot make the Sunday auditions, please contact us via email
and we can set up an appointment to evaluate your dancer.
TWINKLES: ***Ages 5-7 do not need to attend auditions. If you received a letter from your instructor regarding our *Twinkle* program, we would like you to take the Summer Tuesday & Thursday classes (both combo III/IV classes at Tacketts Mill Studio w/Melinda Paradise. Melinda will be the *Twinkles* Director. If your dancer did not receive a nomination letter during class, but would like to be considered for the *Twinkle* Program, please register for the same Tuesday and Thursday classes at Tacketts Mill.
Team
selection will be posted in the studio window Monday evening, June
25th. We will post this at both locations.
If you are placed on
a Company Team, we will have you register for the appropriate
classes during Summer. Summer is when we pack in the technique, so
we can allow for a lighter dance schedule during the school year, so
Summer classes are a must!!
There will be several levels of routines offered within each team. For example, Seniors will have a couple of jazz routines offered. Staff & choreographers will select dancers for each routine separately. There will be a checklist on the application for which routines you wish to be considered for. That way you can decide according to time, budget, etc…on how many routines you would like to potentially compete in.
Time Commitment & Financial Obligations:
*Twinkles* will have
class during the Summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Tacketts Mill
from 6:15-7:15 pm. They will pay the normal summer tuition of $195.
It is recommended that they take any extra dance or tumbling classes
to help them progress with technique and time commitment it takes to
be on a team. Any extra camps, workshops,
etc…the normal fees apply.
Petite, Juniors, and Seniors will have class 3 times per week over the summer. The Summer tuition for Petite, Junior, and Senior is $500. This includes all extra classes, camps, workshops, etc…It is HIGHLY recommended that the dancers supplement w/extra tap, hip-hop, or ballet classes. It is also HIGHLY recommended they do any of the tumbling classes and cheer camps. This will help them tremendously with strength, center, leaps, etc… Please also plan on attending the Redskins Technique Class w/Stephanie Jojokian in August (8/15-8/17).
