Competitive Dance teams at MKDS
Inspiring passion for the performing arts
Miss Kristin’s Dance Studio competitive teams are about so much more than dance! Our competitive and pre-competitive teams teach dancers to balance busy schedules, build healthy relationships with activity and nutrition, find mentorship, create lifelong friendships and so much more. Above all, MKDS strives to instill a lifelong passion and appreciation for the performing arts with committed and focused competition teams.
Pre-Competitive Dance team
Dancers ages 5 - 8 that are interested in joining the MKDS competitive team can dip their toes into the dance team schedule and lifestyle to make sure that it’s right for them!
Competitive dance team
Represent MKDS at dance competitions throughout the country with teammates that uphold commitment, responsibility and dedication. Dancers ages 6 - 18 that have at least one year of experience in ballet or jazz are welcome to join the team.
Pre-competition team
Dancers ages 5 - 8 that may want to join the competitive dance team can explore the lifestyle and commitments required to join the MKDS competition team.
-
Dancers that are interested in joining the pre-competition team must participate in the following classes
Ballet (1 hour / week) - Ballet is the foundation of dance, and will build important strength, flexibility, bakance and technique.
Pre-Competition Jazz (1.5 hours / week) - Dancers learn choreography for the season while refining their technique.
Optional Summer Pre-Competition Jazz (1 hour / week from June 30 - July 30) - Dancers maintain their skills and technique, and build new skills, ahead of the next dance season.
-
The pre-competition team attends one competition, typically at the end of February. Exact dates and location will be communicated beforehand! The competition serves as an introduction to the world of competitive dance, designed to be a fun and educational experience for both dancers and families as a preview of what life is like as a member of the MKDS competitive dance team.
-
After dancers participate in the pre-competition dance team program, there are three potential paths that they may take:
Continue the pre-competition program for another year
Receive an invitation to join the MKDS dance team
Continue on the MKDS recreational dance class path, with special leadership opportunities
-
Program commitment letters, and selection of payment installments, are due by May 1.
The pre-competition dance team cost is $875 for first-year dancers, or $775 for returning dancers. The program investment includes a performance make up kit, performance earrings, team fee, choreography, costumes and the competition entry fee.
MKDS allows families to choose between three payment options:
One payment due on May 1
Two payments due on May 1 and July 1
Three payments due on May 1, July 1 and August 1
-
MKDS expects pre-competition dance team members, and competitive dance team members, to be positive representatives of our studio and the values that we uphold. We expect team members to be accountable to one another, promote positivity and be respectful to every dancer they interact with, at our studio and at competitions.
