PERFORMANCE DANCE TEAM
Philosophy
Our Competition Philosophy
Being part of a competitive dance team can be a great opportunity for your dancer to learn the skill of PERFORMING at a higher level in front of an exciting audience.
You will gain ARTISTRY and CREATIVITY through classical and contemporary dance styles.
You will receive FEEDBACK from dance professionals (judges) that can help you to EXCEL and IMPROVE.
You will grow a stronger sense of TEAMWORK and connect with other dancers through additional COMMUNITY EVENTS.
Competitive dance will increase your SELF CONFIDENCE and give you tangible GOALS to measure your growth.
Auditions
Auditions are held annually in June at the Loveland location. Dancers that want to be considered for pieces that utilize Jazz technique (Jazz, Contemporary, Musical Theater, Lyrical, Acro, Specialty), need to audition in both the Ballet and Jazz portion. Dancers do have the option to audition only for Tap and Hip-Hop pieces. All audition material will be taught during the audition. An audition application (available at the sign-in desk the day of auditions) must be completed prior to auditioning. Arrive early to complete application, check-in and warm-up.
If unable to attend the audition date, alternative audition options available. Email us! pdt@dancedreamstudios.com. If new to PDT, it is highly recommended to attend the 4-DAY Home Studio Experience Workshop the week prior to auditioning.
The PDTeam is a collaborative team and cast with both Greeley and Loveland dancers from both studio locations.
Director Quote
"We would love for our dancers to come in "first" in everything they do, but that's not going to happen -and it's not important that it does. What's important is that they learn respect for others and others' accomplishments as well as their own. That's winning!"
