SIMPLY DANCE ENSEMBLE

The Simply Dance Ensemble was founded in the summer of 2005 and has over 30 members. Competition dance is for those students who are serious about learning to dance in a professional environment, and who want to perform outside of the recital. Competition is by invitation; students that the director feels are ready to compete will be asked to join. Invitation to The Simply Dance Ensemble encourages teamwork and strong character. Focus isn’t on being the best, but achieving ones personal best.

Potential competition team members must have one year of ballet prior to joining the ensemble. They also must have an excellent class attendance record. Team members must take ballet, plus be enrolled in regular weekly classes that correspond to what they are competing in, such as tap, jazz, modern, hip hop and lyrical. They must also be fully commited to putting competition classes and team events before other activities, be willing to participate in fundraisers, workshops, and extra performances.
