Recreational Teams Application (Purple Team)
To submit an application for one of our Recreational Purple Teams (Little Skittles, Mini Starbursts, Sweet Petites, or Junior Mints) please register online by selecting this class. Applications will be accepted until July 12th and then approval/waitlist e-mails will be sent out the following week. Applicants will have one week to accept their spot before their spot is given to the next dancer on the waitlist. Applications will be sorted by experience, technique level, previous class attendance, behavior/attitude, ages, and if they are a returning member from the previous year. OPDC decides all placements best for the dancer, placements can not be requested. Spots are limited! Submitted applications do not guarantee spots and once spots are filled a waitlist will be formed. All four teams are required for the fall season to take at minimum: one weekly ballet class for their age group and their weekly team rehearsal class. They are highly encouraged to take a weekly Acro class and/or another weekly technique class. No summer requirements. Applicants must have previously danced a season at OPDC or complete two summer session classes in 2024.
