Legacy Elite Dance Company Information

Legacy Elite Dance Company Information

We have been receiving many questions about the Elite Company that will be selected at team tryouts. Hope this helps. If you have other questions, please email and we will be glad to answer them.

1.What is Legacy Elite Dance Company?
Legacy Elite will consist of up to 9 students selected from each team that will compete as Legacy small groups, duo/trios and solos in the 2010 – 2011 dance year.


2.How will the Legacy Elite students be chosen?
At the Legacy Competition Team tryouts on July 24 and July 25, the student and parent will fill out an application to be considered for the Elite Company. The Elite Companies will consist of the top scoring students within a distinct scoring range.

For example, if 12 students on the 10 year old team would like to be considered for the Elite Company, but only 7 of the students have scored high enough to be on the Elite Company, then only those 7 will be on the team.

Legacy also holds the right not to accept a student on the Elite Company, regardless of score, who does not have a good work ethic, bad attitude or causes problems in the classroom. The Elite Company will consist of students who want to take dance to the next level.

3. What are the expectations of the Elite Company students?
The Elite Company students will attend their regularly scheduled competition team rehearsal time which will continue to be one and half hour with one technique class required per week.

On top of the normal team requirements, the Elite student will also be required to attend Thursday night from 7:00 to 8:00 pm for ThunderBoltz and SpitFires and Thursday night from 8:00 to 9:00 pm for Phantoms and B52’s. We will work on advanced technical skills during this time. Also, choreography and rehearsals will be scheduled for many Saturdays, but not every Saturday.

4. What is the cost to be a member of the Legacy Elite Company?
Elite Team Members will be billed $15 more monthly on top of the regular competition team monthly statement.
