Studio 1 Dance Team

Dance Team/Performing Company

The Studio 1 Dance Team gives focused and committed dancers the opportunity to perform and compete in regional and national events and competitions. The Studio 1 Dance Team combines hard work and dedication with a sense of unity and belonging. Our Dance Team grows very close amongst each other and with their Dance Team Instructors and Director. Dancing in Disneyland, performing in benefit shows, participating in workshops, and competiting in dance competitions gives Studio 1 dancers the opportunity to grow as individuals and artists. Studio 1's Dance Team experience will expand your dancer's passion, while preparing them for dance expereinces outside of a studio atmosphere.

How do you know if your child is ready?

Dancers need to be at least 7yrs old and/or has had at least 3 years of dance experience

If he/she is dancing all the time at home (practicing and/or improving)

If he/she takes dance classes seriously and works hard in class and outside of class

If he/she takes year round and feels like dance is a part of them, not just an activity they do well.

It is Always better to talk to Beth Ith directly, if interested in Dance Team. We want each child who auditions for our Team, focused and committed. If your child isn't ready, than it is best to wait until they are.

Dance Team is Not Recommended for Dancers with only Combination Class or Beginning Level Experience
