We want to replicate the experience of a real dance audition for our students as much as possible. Learning how the audition process works is a great skill for dancers to acquire. That being said, we will find a proper spot for everyone auditioning - so calm those nerves!


What usually happens at our competition team audition?
You get to do what you love – DANCE! When you show up, you will receive a number & scotch tape! Stick that number onto your leotard! Even though your dance teachers definitely know who you are, we pretend that we don't know you on audition day & call you by your number! We do this for two reasons, one because it's tradition! Two, we want you to learn what an audition experience in front of strangers is like, and so we do our best to give you a true pre-professional experience! The audition is very similar to a standard dance class, with a few fun surprises!


We are very careful with team placements to ensure our dancers are placed appropriately & have an enjoyable, successful season. Thank you for your trust & patience through this process – it does take quite a bit of time to get the schedule right! Our final audition is August 15th. The competition team schedule & placements will not be available prior to August 15th, and we will do our best to have our upcoming competition class schedule set by August 26th.

COMPETITION TEAM EVENTS


The following Competition Team events are subject to change!
 They are simply what is available in our area – you are NOT required to attend them all



WE WILL CHOOSE 4 REGIONAL COMPETITIONS THAT OUR ENTIRE TEAM WILL ATTEND
Ideally ones close to home!

THE REST OF THE COMPETITIONS & CONVENTIONS LISTED ARE OPTIONAL

We have not made a decision about which 4 events to attend yet because we need more information.
We're waiting on a few of our favorites! Thanks for your patience!


Competitions are typically held over weekends, Friday – Sunday. We will not know the specific day over the weekend, or the approximate time that we will be competing until one week before the event – it is SUPER annoying. We will let you know dates & times as soon as we find out! We will update the information below as we learn more. More details coming soon! Most competition rates for one group routine are typically $60 - $80 range per dancer/per dance. It gets more expensive if you choose to compete more routines. Payments for competitions are due thirty days prior to the event.

    THE CONTRACT
    I hereby acknowledge that dance education requires physical activity & waive & release any claims from injuries that might be sustained by my child during this program. In the event of a student getting injured, I understand that a PMCD staff member may break social distancing mandates/protocols to provide aid & care. We all agree to stay updated with local health agencies' protocols. If my dancer is experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19, they will not attend dance class. If a member of the household is under quarantine due to an exposure to Covid-19, the dancer cannot attend dance class until symptom free for 5 days. I understand if the dancer begins to experience symptoms while at class, then the dancer will be sent home. I agree to notify PMCD of any restrictions, so that accommodations can be made. I understand the known potential dangers of participating in dance lessons, and hereby release PMCD of any and all liabilities. I also give PMCD permission to use pictures and video of the dancer for advertisement and promotional purposes. I understand that there are no refunds for tuition, fees and costumes, except in dire circumstances at the discretion of the director of the dance program.  In the event of snowstorms, or bad weather where traveling is deemed too dangerous, classes will be rescheduled. PMCD is not responsible for lost or stolen items.  I hereby assume all financial responsibility for the above student enrolled at PMCD. Students may be suspended from classes until the account balance is current. In the event it becomes necessary to refer the account for collection from an outside agency, the registrant, parent, or legal guardian is liable for all collection fees, including attorney's fees & interest. I understand that if class is dropped after November 15th, a drop fee of $350/class will be charged. No fee will be charged if a class is dropped before November 15th. All practices & performances for competition team are mandatory. Palmyra-Macedon Conservatory of Dance reserves the right to dismiss a student from our program at any time due to blatantly ignoring the rules & policies of our program, or for unruly behavior. 

    By signing below, I will assume full responsibility for the above registered dancer.
