Synergy Dance Team Assessments
May 11, 2019
10:00-10:45 - Junior and Teen Team (ages 7-12)
11:00-11:45 - Senior Team (ages 13+)
$10 fee for all dancers
Dancers will be asked to do ballet and jazz so please dress accordingly. Returning Team members do not need to be assessed. If your dancer is interested in joining our Teams and is unable to attend the assessment please let Kari know so we can set up an individual assessment at kari@synergydancemadison.com.
Our goal for our team programs is to give as many dancers as possible the opportunity to experience the benefits of participating on a team: leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline, friendship, passion and most of all – FUN!
SENIOR AND JUNIOR PERFORMANCE TEAMS
Our SENIOR PERFORMANCE TEAM is for 13+ and our JUNIOR PERFORMANCE TEAM is for ages 7-12. We recognize that dancers and their families are very busy with school activities, sports, school dance teams, community programs and family obligations. For this reason, we offer a PERFORMANCE TEAM option for dancers who would like a little more from their dance training but just can’t commit to a standard studio dance team.
PERFORMANCE TEAM participant’s time and cost commitment is considerably less than the Synergy COMPETITIVE Team Members but still pushes the dancer to work toward a unified goal with other dancers. PERFORMANCE Members will ONLY participate at local competitions and will not be required to travel to any away competitions/conventions.
SENIOR, TEEN AND JUNIOR COMPETITIVE DANCE TEAMS
Our JUNIOR COMPETITIVE TEAM is for dancers ages 7-11, our TEEN COMPETITIVE TEAM is for dancers ages 11-14 and our SENIOR COMPETITIVE TEAM is for dancers 13 and up. These are loose guidelines, we place dancers based on ability and maturity. Dancers who participate on our SENIOR AND TEEN TEAMS will travel regionally and to Nationals in Florida in July. JUNIOR TEAM members travel regionally, and based on what pieces they participate in may or may not travel to Florida.
