This group is a way for our younger kids to get a taste of the professionalism of being on a competition team without quite as much intensity and more fun and learningJunior Competition Team is an opportunity for those students who want to perform more, be a leader in our studio community, and get to spend more time with their VPAA friends. The group will compete at two regional competitions.
Our audition is open to all levels of expertise; once we see who auditions we will select kids that will form a cohesive group. Although most performers do improve their technique throughout the year, that is not the aim of competition. This is why we require students to take other classes to work on their technique. Junior competition team members instead get very good at learning to adapt to every new venue and situation.
