Ace Ensemble 2020-2021 (Updated 4/20/20)
The Ensemble Program is designed to give dancers additional performance opportunities throughout the year. If you are interested in being a part of our loving, supportive Ensemble community, keep reading! To audition, dancers must be age 7 by September 1, 2020 and have at least 1 year of dance training. We are continuing with the thriving Solo/Duo/Trio and Dance Captain Programs. Next year's Ensemble will also include the new Pre-Professional Program for dancers who would like to focus on a specific goal of professional dance training. We are very optimistic about moving forward to create a fun-filled experience for our dancers! It may need to begin remotely, but as soon as we are able to meet in-person safely, we will do so. We will need to adjust our performance calendar and financial requirements as necessary as our world continues to evolve and change. Over the
next few weeks, we hope to gain more information so that we can give additional direction to our families.
As we navigate the repercussions of Shelter-in-Place and COVID-19, we will do our best to keep communications open before final decisions are made. We created the Ensemble Info Sheet prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, so aspects of the program will change. For an approximate idea of what to expect, please CLICK HERE.
We look forward to a fantastic Ensemble year!
