TDM’S COMPETITION TEAMS
TDM offers two options for our Competitive Team Dancers!
The Squad is geared toward the dancer who loves to perform, train and compete, but might still have other interests outside of dance. The Squad receives the same level of training as our sister team, Company, just at a lower financial and time commitment level. This is also the perfect team for dancers who prefer to focus on specific dance genres (i.e. jazz. hip hop, contemporary). The Squad members train in the genre(s) that compliment their routine styles with our Professional Faculty and are required to take 1-3 weekly classes (required amount of classes depends on the dancer’s age). Squad dancers must participate in at least one competitive group dance, with the group rehearsals scheduled one day per week. Squad group dancers will receive 30 mins of rehearsal time weekly or bi-weekly, just like our sister team. Squad members will compete at three (3) local competitions. In addition to group competitive routines, Squad members have the option to learn and compete a solo, duo and/or trio. This team trains alongside our Company team, and is welcome to take additional studio classes. Squad members also are welcome to attend convention workshop classes at Company events.
The Company is designed for highly-competitive dancers who commit to an intense, well-rounded training schedule. This nationally award-winning team requires multiple days of technique classes in a variety of genres including ballet, jazz, contemporary and strength / conditioning, as well as 1-2 days of group dance rehearsals. Classes are separated by age in order to appropriately train dancers based on body development and injury prevention. These dancers compete at five (5) local / Regional Competitions and Conventions. We know how important it is for our dancers to take advantage of extra training opportunities at workshops and conventions. When it doesn’t conflict with weekend choreography or rehearsals, we encourage our students to attend these events to maximize their development and growth! Company team members are required to participate in a minimum of two (2) group dances, attend required weekly rehearsals for group routines and maintain regular attendance in weekly classes (1-5.5 hrs/week depending on the age). Company dancers also have the opportunity to learn compete a solo / duo and/or trio. This team has the opportunity to work with world-class renowned guest artists such as Phil Wright, Mallauri Esquibel, Olivia Liberati, Christ Smutek and more.
Required classes as well as Group Rehearsals for both our Squad and Company teams are held during the weekdays, unless there is a special circumstance. TDM’s Squad and Company dancers train together in many classes (separated by age groups) and will also attend competitions with each other. We truly are one family here at The Dance Movement!
