24/7 Dance Company

24/7 Dance Company is a dance studio for dancers of the ages 3- 18 years, being of any dancing level: Beginning, Intermediate or Advanced. We currently offer classes in: Ballet, Lyrical, Jazz, Basic Hip-Hop and our Competition Dance Team.

Our studio director, choreographer and teacher is Dana Wilkerson. Dana has 15 years of dancing experience. She has experience in: Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical, Modern, Hip-Hop, Clogging, gymnastics, Drill Team and many more. Dana started her own dance team in 2007 and is excited to be starting her third year here in Duchesne, with her own dance company. (This year, because Dana will be having her baby in October, she will have assistants that will be teaching/demonstrating the majority of the class time for all classes, during September, October & November. Dana will still be present during these classes & will still do all the choreography for all class routines).

We have several classes available for you to choose from. We offer several age grouped classes in Jazz & Ballet/Lyrical. We also offer many age, technique, ability and experience based levels on our competition dance team, with “add on” classes available. We hope that your dancers will come for a positive experience and to become the best dancer they can be. We hope that you will enjoy taking dance classes with 24/7 Dance Company.

**ALL classes will perform at the Spring Recital in May. However, for each class a costume MUST be purchased to perform.**

This is a 45 minute class for dancers ages 3-5 years with little or no experience in dance.

If we feel your child is keeping others from learning/participating, we may ask that you come to class & watch your child to help them from distracting others.**

Elite Dance Extreme (Competition Classes)

All information listed below is applicable for all levels on the competition team. We are estimating four levels for the team (same as last year). Our levels are: Minis, Petites, Juniors, Seniors. (If needed some levels may be dropped & combined or more levels will be added).

To participate on our competition team you must be between the ages of 4 to 18. Our competition dance team will be having placement classes this year. Every dancer who participates in the placement class(es) will be able to be a part of our team. These classes are primarily to see what level and ability each dancer is currently at and to see which class will best fit each dancer. Competition team classes are divided into levels based on technique, ability, experience, previous attendance (if applicable), age, etc. Results will be posted after the placement classes. If a dancer progresses quickly within the first few weeks of class, they may have the opportunity to move up into another level. (This is strictly the director's decision). Dancers must attend placement classes & MUST be signed up BEFORE the placement classes are held.

Each competition team class is 1 hour long (highest level may have a longer regular class time), although at many times, team members may possibly have longer team/group practices. In our competition classes dancers will learn challenging dance movements in Jazz dance, basic Ballet technique, lyrical movements and possibly basic hip-hop movements. Some movements will include: various leaps, turns, pirouettes, “across the floor” movements, kicks, jumps, jazz walks, etc. These classes are for dancers who are able to focus on each movement with hard work and determination. Dancers will also learn not only to dance as one but also as a team.

Each level on the competition team will compete 1-3 routines at 2-3 competitions in the spring. However, our highest level of the team may possibly compete at an additional competition and/or additional routines. Dancers on Elite Dance Extreme are also more than welcome to compete solos, duos, or trios at the spring competitions as well. For any questions about competition fees for team members or soloists please contact Dana.

Being on a competition team requires additional expenses for costumes, warm-ups, practice wear, shoes, props, etc. However each year our competition team participates in at least one fund raiser within the first half of the dance season. Dancers will have the option to fund raise additional money to go directly towards their expenses (excluding tuition). **If you have any questions about costs, etc please contact Dana.**

Monthly Tuition: $30-$32 per month
