PreSchool Evaluation

JUNE 6TH
**Choose Dancer's Current Level**
This evaluation is for all dancers who feel they are ready for a more difficult curriculum and/or would like to be considered for dances CDA's elite are taking to competition next season! They will audition with their showcase dances, so practice that and work hard in class.

LEVEL UP: If your dancer is going into Kindergarten next school year, this audition will help evaluate her skill level to see if she will thrive in a more advanced and mature class. It is possible to advance early if your dancer meets all expectations and shows maturity, but it is not broadly encouraged to rush through your dance training.

COMPETITION: In addition to level placement, Mrs Courtney will use this audition to help her choose dance groups/trios/duos/solos to take to competitions next season. CDA’s Elite program allows dancers to use their passion to fine tune their dancing and progress through more challenging classes and educational experiences. To become Elite level, dancers must audition and are then required to attend all summer dance camps in their assigned level. They will also be enrolled in Fall-Spring weekly required classes, as well as attend choreography sessions for their competition dance(s) in August. Requirements are specific to each dancer’s level, so please register for the VIRTUAL PARENT MEETING. Participation in CDA’s ELITE can create exceptional dancers who dance in an exceptional dance world!

Competition Parent Meeting (Virtual)

Wednesday, April 24th
All your questions will be ANSWERED!
💙
If your dancer thrives on stage and dances for the performance, CDA’s Elite Team may be for her! Being an Elite Dancer requires a strong commitment not only from the dancer, but even more so from her parents. In addition to required classes, choreography sessions and extra rehearsals, Elite Dancers will attend at least three regional competitions and one convention between January-April/May. These competitions typically require overnight stays Friday-Sunday. There is the possibility of attending a national competition in the Summer, which also requires summer rehearsal sessions.
Dancers interested in CDA’s Elite Competition Team MUST...
* LOVE TO DANCE/PERFORM AND WANT MORE!
* Be at least Age 5 before January 1, 2025.
* Have been enrolled at CDA for a minimum of one year; since September 2023.
* Register for and Attend an Evaluation Session in the appropriate level. June 11, 12, 13, 2024.
If your dancer meets the above requirements and is interested in CDA’s 2024-25 Elite Competition Team, a parent (this applies to both Newbies and Seasoned parents) MUST register for and join a virtual informational parent meeting hosted by Mrs. Courtney and Mrs. Karen. This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and will give you a more detailed outline of the commitment and cost involved.
