Season Three Competition Schedule

Please, be sure to hold ALL of these dates, as we will not receive a final competition schedule until 7-10 days prior to the competition.

It’s here!

Season Three
Routine Casts

We are so excited to release our Season Three Routine Cast Lists! ASI Dance Elite dancers do not stick to the same cohort year after year, but are instead cast in new routines each season. This allows dancers to learn from, train, and grow with different dancers each season. If you see your dancer performing with a different group of dancers this season, this does not mean that this is your dancer’s “new group”, but simply the dancers we have cast together for this season. This will change year to year to help our ASI Dance Elite team feel more like one big happy dance family!

choreography bootcamp

 Choreography will begin right at the start time so please stretch and warm-up before class.  We encourage dancers to have snacks and nourishment on hand to keep their brains and bodies fueled for long rehearsals! If your solo, duet, or trio is not listed this is likely because you mentioned being available in the morning and Ms. Torie will slack you individually to set up a time that works for everyon

Aug & Sept Rehearsal

Competition team cleaning sessions are held on Saturdays for 4 weeks in August and September. Please note that we do not have rehearsal over the Labor Day weekend and that rehearsals only take place on Saturdays. In season 2 these were held Friday and Saturday however our studio is fully booked on Fridays this year, leaving Saturdays as the only day for cleaning sessions

Our fall and spring dance class schedule is now available. If your private lesson is not listed on the schedule it is still in progress as we are likely trying to find a time in Ms. Torie’s schedule to add your rehearsal! If your private lesson is listed in red it likely has a conflict and is being rescheduled. If you notice conflicts for your dancer please await a message from Ms. Torie regarding solutions she has in place
