REGIONAL TEAMS
If your child is showing a keen interest in dance and is looking for a more challenging experience than what recreational classes can offer, we encourage you to sign up for our Blue Rose Regional Teams! The Regional teams offer an introduction to a wide range of competitive environments as they compete in a mix of local high school, All-Star, and studio competitions. Dancers on all Regional teams will do the same competitions (announced with audition result invitations). All teams will participate in studio recitals, along with dancers in Blue Rose’s recreational programs.
Each age division will have the opportunity to compete routines in some or all of the following styles: contemporary/lyrical, jazz, pom, hip hop, and variety. Dancers are not obligated to join every team, but it's highly encouraged to train in a variety of styles to obtain the most well-rounded dance education for your child. All dancers are required to attend 1 to 3 hours of weekly ballet training, depending on the team level. Dancers choosing to only compete in hip hop will not be required to train in ballet. At least one hour a week of focused training in both technique and tumbling is included to enhance your child’s skills and confidence as a competitive team dancer. All Teams classes are one to two hours each, depending on the Team age division. The charts below summarize the *ESTIMATED* time and financial commitment of each Regional team. The hours listed for routines assume your dancer participates on four teams, though four team options may not be available for every age division.
NATIONAL TEAMS
If your child is passionate about dancing and ready to commit to it at an elite level, then our National Teams program is the perfect fit! Your child will have the opportunity to travel across the nation and showcase their skills as they compete alongside the most talented dancers from around the world. The National teams compete in strictly an All-Star circuit, obtaining bids throughout the season for Summit and Worlds, which mark the end of the competition season. Dancers on all National teams will do all the same competitions (announced with audition result invitations). All teams will participate in studio recitals, along with dancers in Blue Rose’s recreational programs.
