WHO: Any dancer looking for more dance and performance opportunities at a competitive and/or non-competitive level. 110% commitment is necessary for both the dancer and the parent.

Expectations: Being on any team requires a huge commitment on both the child and the parent. Solid daily/weekly attendance is critical to the success of your child. Being on time and properly suited for each class is also imperative to the success of your child. Personal practice at home is also a necessity to the success of your child.

SUMMER CLASSES: If selected as a member of any of the teams, ALL team members will be required to participate in classes. 

• Summer Session 1 will be June 9-26 
• Summer Session 2 will be July 7-24 
• A minimum number of 20 total summer classes over the course of 6 weeks will be REQUIRED plus the Studio C Summer Power Intensive Aug 4-8 (with possible choreography sessions Aug 1-9th). 
• Touring company and local company members will have the opportunity to train 4 days a week in the summer if they choose. In which case, getting the unlimited pass would be the most economical way to go.

IN-HOUSE SPRING INTENSIVE is scheduled for March 27-28, 2026: This is required for all travel and local competition team members ages 8 and up. Age as of Jan 1, 2026.

Monthly tuition is based on the # of classes your child takes per week. Company members from our Lil Notes to our Senior Pros, tuition will range anywhere from $65 - $375 per month depending on which team your child has been selected for. The number of classes, class times/days will be determined after the Company is selected. Class levels will be based on the individual dancer. We are striving to train each dancer at a level the dancer is ready for. The greatest benefit is that level advancements can be changed at any time during the season based on our assessment of the child’s readiness. Generally younger kids take fewer classes and will increase as the kids get older and more advanced.

TRAVEL Competition Teams that will be traveling out of state to dance conventions and competitions, as well as perform, compete and participate in dance competitions/conventions and community events in various styles of dance in the Treasure Valley. Roughly $600 per routine to cover choreography, costume and competition fees for 4 competitions plus Dance RAW (our prep competition event), and to cover teachers for extra rehearsals and guest performances. For example, if you have 3 competition routines, your routine fee will be $600 x 3 = $1800. If the event is convention/competition, a convention fee also applies and ranges from $260-$365 depending on the event. Plus the Dance RAW workshop fee is $90. Please note your costume fee does not include dance shoes, tights, make up, lashes, earrings and other personal items/accessories. Routines with a guest choreographer will have an additional $100 fee per routine. Travel reservations and expenses are additional and your responsibility. Please understand that plans can change due to any outside forces that are out of our control.

LOCAL Competitive Teams will perform, compete and participate in dance competitions and conventions in the Treasure Valley as well as perform at community events in various styles of dance. Roughly $500 per routine to cover choreography, costume and competition fees for 4 competitions plus Dance RAW (our prep competition event), and to cover teachers for extra rehearsals and guest performances. Local teams generally have 2 competition routines. Therefore, your routine fee will be $500 x 2 = $1000. Local competitive teams will participate in the Dance RAW workshop classes at $90. Other convention fees do not apply unless you choose to participate in an optional convention, in which case it will be $260-$365 for the convention fee depending on the convention and what their convention rate is. If you choose to participate in an optional convention, you do not compete.

Community Performance Teams - A non-competitive team that will perform at local community events throughout the Treasure Valley. There are no competition and convention fees related to the performance teams. The performance team has 1 performance routine and the routine fee is roughly $250 total to cover choreography, costumes and to cover teachers for extra rehearsals and guest performances.

Quality over quantity. Our goal is always about quality training over the number of routines you child is in. We believe in having a child properly prepared for any routine a dancer is cast in. We can guarantee every child will be cast in 1 routine. But in reality, everyone has a minimum of 2-3 routines. Any more than that will depend on the readiness and progress of your child as well as the time and financial commitment of the dancer and the parents.

We understand that we are auditioning for a Studio C performance team. We understand that once we are selected for the team, we are obligated to fulfill our membership on the team through May 31, 2025. Membership includes but is not limited to: attending required weekly required classes, attending extra rehearsals, attending required workshops/conventions/choreography sessions, maintaining and building dance skills through the course of the summer, traveling out of state, making monthly installments for fees as it pertains to you, participating in some required fundraisers, have good attendance, good grades, a good work ethic, good sportsmanship and a positive attitude. Membership must be exclusive to Studio C, which means members are not allowed to participate with another private dance studio while a member of a Studio C performance team. Public school dance teams are not considered a private studio dance team. However, we expect you to make the Studio C Dance Company your dance priority. We also understand that all decisions made by the Studio C faculty are final and are not to be disputed.
