Thank you to all dancers for coming to team practice!!! It was a great practice!! I am glad that you all support and cheer for your teammates! Keep up the good work!!!

Solos, Duos, Trios & Quads

Attention Dancers & Parents:
We would like to invite any dancers on our competition team (Ages 6-18) and any girls who are too young to join our full competition team (Ages 3-5) to participate in a solo, duo, trio or a quartet at competition. The competitions we will be attending as a team are: Dance Spectacular Utah (held on March 27th) and Utah Dance Championships (held on April 30th for solos & May 1st for team routines). Both competitions will be held at Roy High School in Roy, Utah.

Those of you who are interested in competing a solo, duo, trio or quad at our competitions, we suggest you start practicing/choreographing as soon as possible. Now is the time to start if you haven’t already! Competitions are in March & April!!! You don't want to get caught unprepared!

If you would like to have Dana choreograph a solo, duo, trio or quad for you, contact her for pricing & to schedule a practice ASAP!!! Spots are getting filled up fast!! Any dancers on our team that compete a solo, duo, trio or quad will be able to perform their routine at our year end recital!!!

ESTIMATED Prices for competing are as follows:

Prices for Dance Spectacular
(March Competition)
Solo: $60.00 each
Duo: $40.00 each girl
Trio: $35.00 each girl
Quad: $35.00 each girl

Prices for Utah Dance Championships
(April/May Competition)
Solo: $59.00 each
Duo: $35.00 each girl
Trio: $35.00 each girl
Quad: $35.00 each girl

At Dance Spectacular Utah (March Competition) there is also a photogenic contest called “Cover Girl.” To enter, contestant must complete the entry form and enclose a VERTICAL 8x10, color or black & white recent photo of themselves. (Photo must reflect contestants age). The cost to enter into the Cover Girl division is $40.00 for the 1st entry and any additional entry of the SAME person is an additional $25.00.

BOTH Competitions state that anyone who competes a solo, duo, trio, quad will receive a trophy. Dance Spectacular states that anyone who enters in the Cover Girl contest will receive a trophy.

If you are competing a solo, duo, trio, quad or entering in the Cover Girl contest, it is YOUR responsibility to complete any entry forms necessary & to send it in to the competition with your payment by their deadlines. If you would like an application for a solo, duo, trio, quad or Cover Girl contest, please specify which competition and Dana will either give you a copy of the application or tell you the website in which you can download their applications.

If you are competing a solo, duo, trio or quad, I personally suggest entering BOTH competitions. In this case after the first competition, you can go over your score sheets with your choreographer to see what the judges liked about your performance, what they suggest you practice, & if you would like to make any changes to your routine. This way you can improve or do just as well at the second competition.

Contact Dana if you have any further questions or if you are planning on competing a solo, duo, trio, quad or entering the Cover Girl competition at Dance Spectacular. Thanks!
