Initiate is part time competition team that offers dancers a taste of the dance competition world without the full time commitment. Initiate dancers are confident, dedicated, and strong individuals with incredible work ethic.

Modest costumes, no required Sunday rehearsals
and we always request no Sunday for performances!

The Initiate Team will be made up of dancers ages 5-17 split into groups that will train approximately 6-9 hours each week in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, and Hip Hop. All initiate teams train three days each week. Saturdays are occasionally used for extra choreography and rehearsals but not for regular class!
Dancers will compete two group routines with an opportunity for more at 4 local events. Initiate is headed back to Nationals this summer (June 2025) after taking home the National Title in 2023! Initiate competes at Nationals every other year with 2026 being an off year to allow for family vacation time!
