Emergence is our award winning, advanced-level competition team that offers dancers a more intensive training program focused on preparing our dancers for the world beyond the competition stage. Many of our Emergence Alumni have continued their dance journeys at some of the top college programs in the country and many return to AMD to pass their passion for dance onto the future generations! Emergence dancers are confident, dedicated, and strong individuals with incredible work ethic.
The Emergence Team is made up of dancers ages 5-18 that
train approximately 12-16 hours each week in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, and Hip Hop. Emergence dancers will attend 3 local conventions and 4 local competitions. Emergence attends nationals as a team every other year but dancers are encouraged to use the summer off to attend intensives or nationals to help progress their training. Emergence Dancers have many opportunities to work with leading teachers in the industry right at AMD during our master classes!
All Emergence dancers will train 4 days each week: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday
Dancers who would like to be evaluated for our Emergence Competition Team must first attend the Initiate Audition on June 15th. After that audition dancers may receive an invitation to be evaluated for Emergence. If your dancer receives the invitation you will be notified about how to set up further evaluation.
