Competitive Team Information

What age can my child start competitive dance?

TRYOUTS: SATURDAY, JUNE 8th, are where all dancers are evaluated by our competitive teachers and director to determine which group they would be best suited to. Afterwards there will be a letter that goes home to let parents know if they would be invited to a group, or if they need additional training. Our competitive teams are well rounded in all styles of dance. CDA Dance Academy has a wonderful reputation of developing well trained dancers in many genres of dance.

CDA Dance Inc is very proud of our Part Time dancers! We truly feel dance is for everyone... and some dance families want to join competitive dance, however can only commit to dance 2-3 days a week= we have an amazing Part Time Program for these dancers

What if I am unsure of what level my dancer is at?

CDA Dance Inc decides this. Teachers may assess the student and place them in a category based on their ability and age. Coaches base their decisions based on their commitment and ability as demonstrated in the audition. For dancers that want to move up a level, they are recomended to train all summer during evening classes. CDA Dance Inc will have a list of required technical classes, and a list of optional/elective classes. Also, there is a mandatory Summer Competitive Team Camp for training and team building (Aug.19-23). CDA Dance Inc does final group placements in September.

How many classes will each dancer take?

Part Time students dance fewer hours, therefore hours for training vary (the parent can choose part time even if the dancer makes it into the full time).
