Welcome prospective mdc Competition dancers!
The Mason Dance Center
Competition Dancers are students who are
enthusiastic and committed to learning to dance in a professional environment and who
want to
perform and compete beyond the annual recital. Of course dance technique
and performance quality will factor heavily into placement but our approximate
ages for our tentative 2011-12 groupings are-
|
Teams |

Our Competition Dancers
must have a good attendance record, be enrolled in ballet class in
addition to other dance forms and show a willingness to work hard to
improve their technique. They must be devoted to making dance a
priority in their lives. They must also be willing to participate
in fundraisers or extra commitments and costs and have the full support
of their parents or guardians.
Auditions are held in
late May/early June each year. Prior to auditioning we recommend
that students are taking at least 3 classes per week; preferably jazz,
tap and ballet. With a minimum time commitment of 3 hrs of dancing per
week for even our Jr. Team, the jump to that from only 1 class per
week can be overwhelming.
Competition parents are asked to participate in the MDC Parents Association.
This parents group
holds monthly meetings to plan fundraisers and to promote camaraderie
and team spirit. As a Competition
parent, we also welcome you to join our
private Facebook group to stay informed on all that we are
doing.
