performance teams
Performance Teams at The Studio offer opportunities to perform regularly. We perform 6-8 times throughout the year at schools, nursing homes, churches, downtown Loveland, parades, festivals or wherever we can get an audience!
This builds confidence, teamwork and performance ability! These groups share and pray together before each class to build a connection with one another. Being part of a Studio Performance Company is an experience your child won’t forget and the friendships they develop are priceless!!!
Performance Teams require a strong commitment, hard work, dedication, a passion for dance and a drive for self-improvement.
There are only 10-12 spots available for each team, so please discuss this decision as a family before deciding to audition so these spots go to those who are committed!
Thanks!
