FDS ELITE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM 

FDS ELITE is a pre-professional competitive program for dancers who will be in the 3rd - 12th grades for the 2021-2022 dance year.

Through participation, dancers will intensify their training to result in 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 8+.​

• Placement by audition only. 

• It is a specific program based on ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop technique.

• This is the most prestigious placement and has its own set of prerequisites, requirements, and opportunities.

FDS ELITE teams are divided this year into three levels and two styles, each receiving instruction in contemporary and hip hop.

• Level I: Ages 6-7

• Level II: Ages 8-9

• Level III: Ages 10-12

• Level IV: Ages 13 and up

• ​

In each level, a minimum of 8 dancers is required to create an FDS ELITE Competition Team.
