FDS Elite Competition Teams

FDS ELITE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM
FDS ELITE is a pre-professional competitive program for dancers.
Through participation, dancers will intensify their training to achieve a higher level of technique, performance, and artistry, providing the education and experience needed to continue dance in higher education or a professional career.

Philosophy and Expectations
-
The FDS ELITE Competition Team requires hard work, dedication, teamwork, and much more to build a successful group.
-
This program is designed for our most experienced and advanced dancers, ages 6+.
-
Placement by audition only.
-
It is a specific program based on ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop technique.
-
This is the most prestigious placement with its own prerequisites, requirements, and opportunities.
-
FDS ELITE teams are divided this year into four levels and three styles, each receiving instruction in contemporary, jazz, and hip hop.
-
-
Level I: Ages 7-8
-
Level II: Ages 9-11
-
Level III: Ages 12-14
-
Level IV: Ages 15 and up
-
-
Each level requires a minimum of 6 to 8 dancers to create an FDS ELITE Competition Team.

FDS ELITE Competition Team Auditions
Saturday, May 13th, 2023 from 12:30pm to 5:00pm
Fantasy Dance School announces its 2023-2024 competition season auditions.
Auditions will be held at the FDS. Please review the information below to determine your student's appropriate arrival and departure time.
-
Students auditioning should bring appropriate class attire, dance shoes, water, snacks, and an enthusiastic attitude!
-
This year, all students auditioning will learn and audition the combinations for all three styles (Jazz, Contemporary, and Hip Hop); however, they will fill out a form to say which teams/styles they want to be considered for. Our main reason for this is that if accepted into our Elite Competitive Program, students will attend a dance convention where they will take classes in one weekend with all styles. This will give them (and the judges) an idea of what the convention will look like.
-
One flat fee to learn and audition all three styles: $50
-
*As a reminder, while students will learn and audition with all three teams, they will fill out a form upon arrival where they state which ones they want to be considered for, along with additional questions.
-
Registration for the audition is available online through your studio account
