OUR COMPETITIVE DANCE TEAMS

Through our Studio 140 dance teams, kids have a chance to further develop dance techniques while training as a team to compete in several dance competitions during the school year and perform at other Y events. Auditions are mandatory for all potential and returning members.

Studio 140’s competitive team season runs from September through July. Registration closes at the beginning of October. All Team Members are required to attend 3 regional competitions and our national competition in late June- early July. Competition dates will be selected by mid-August of each season.

TEAM PRACTICES

Team practices are year-round, and attendance is required from September through June. During the months of July and August, there are no practices, but members have the option of registering for additional team practices offered during the week. Your child’s practice schedule is dependent on your child’s competitive level.
