FAQs
-
All dancers will have the opportunity to participate in evaluations for class placement. Competitive teams are hand selected after these evaluations and groups are carefully created based on readiness and group cohesiveness.
-
We have two seasons at Industry: Summer and Traditional season. Traditional season begins in September and culminates with the spring recital in May or June. Summer season immediately follows and provides a variety of dancer training to keep your dancer involved in dance all summer long.
-
For our recreational students summer is not required. For our competitive students summer is required but not in the traditional sense. Because we know pausing training and movement for weeks at a time sets dancers back, we do require 15-20 hours of summer training. This training can be done at any time during the season in whatever classes the dancer wants to take. Dancers are free to pick their own classes.
-
We do have a dress code at Industry. All students are expected to wear black and specific guidelines per class are outlined in our student/parent handbook. Dance attire is mandatory and will be expressly communicated to each dancer at registration.
