Part-Time Competition Teams - No Audition Required
This competition program is for dancers Kindergarten-6th grade. These groups have been created for our dancers who would love to have more performance opportunities and technical instruction without the full-time competition team commitment. These teams of dancers will attend two regional competitions in addition to their spring recital performance. Sparks will perform/compete a tap and a jazz dance. Required classes include one 1 hour tap class and one 1.25 hour jazz/ballet class per week (two days per week commitment with one class on each day). Dancers will need to register for both classes to participate on the Sparks Team. Please Note: Dancers will not learn a ballet dance to be performed on stage. If your dancer would like to perform a ballet dance at recital, they would need to enroll in a separate ballet class (K-2nd Grade Ballet or 3rd-6th Grade Ballet). *New for Sparks 2024-2025 - Optional Hip Hop add-on! In addition to the Tap and Jazz dances, Sparks students will have the option to add-on a Hip Hop dance to also perform at competition and the Spring Recital. The class will be an additional 30 minutes during the week. |
