The Competition Season begins well before the first competition.  Our dancers work extremely hard to perfect their technique and their routines.  Many hours are spent bonding with their teammates at all levels of competition.  Competitions break the dancers out into various categories based on average age of the group, size of the group and style.  The dancers are judged in categories that cover aspects such as  showmanship, technique (i.e., proper form, execution of movements, transitions), difficulty of the routine, costume, and choreography.
