Lite & Elite Intensive Program
A lot of families are unsure of what is involved in competitive dance here at Take 5 Dance Studio,
so we have briefly outlined our team information for you below:
LITE INTENSIVE PROGRAM (age 7+)
Our lite program will offer classic program dancers who are looking for a bit more of a challenge, the opportunity of intensive training without the demand of a full-time program. Our lite program consists of separate technique classes in the jazz, tap, ballet, and a stretch & strength class with the option of adding on an acro class. They will then additionally learn 2 competitive group routines. Your dancer will no longer be required to participate in our classic recreational program unless they wish to add other styles of dance to their learning (for example hip hop or musical theatre).
In total, your dancer will attend the studio two times per week, approximately 5-6 hours in total. Class fee packages start at $2500/year.
Lite team members will attend 4-5 local competitions in the spring of 2025.
Attendance to all competitions along with our showcase and recitals are mandatory
ELITE INTENSIVE PROGRAM (age 8+)
Our elite full-time program is ideal for the dancer who wishes to pursue dance as their main extra-curricular activity/sport.
Elite team members will train approximately 3 days a week with a minimum of 7 hours per week. The requirement for this program is graded ballet, Stretch & Technique, Jumps & Turns and Jazz, along with the corresponding choreography/technique classes. Exam participation is mandatory in certain styles. All dancers must participate in both jazz, tap, and ballet (if offered) as a minimum entry into our elite program. All routines above these styles will be by selection entry only and must be taken in order of studio staff preference.
In total, your dancer will attend the studio two-three times per week, approximately 7+ hours in total.
Class fee packages start at $2800/year.
Elite team members will attend 4-5 local competitions in the spring of 2025. Attendance to all competitions along with our showcase and recitals are mandatory.
