Performing Group
Special Numbers
(Solos, Duos, Trios)

General Information for Dancers, Parents, and Choreographers

Any Performing Group Member is eligible to prepare and compete a Special Number. Of the competitions we attend, some allow any and all routines to compete; others are more restricted, and either do not allow solos to compete, or only allow a certain number of dance routines from any one studio to compete. (We will discuss options with the dancers should we perform at a more restricted competition.) There are also many competitions that students can attend on their own, other than the mandatory ones we attend as a group. We can assist students in entering these alternate competitions; however, we cannot guarantee that an instructor will be present.

There is a financial responsibility when competing a special number. Students are responsible for competition entry fees, costume costs (if any), and choreography costs. Each of these costs will vary based on the choices made - see below for options. In addition, families are responsible for any transportation or lodging costs they may need to attend competitions.

PLEASE NOTE: Studio tuition payments must be in good standing and up to date before undertaking the financial commitment of a special number. Students must also be taking their regular classes, including performing group classes, without excessive absences before undertaking the time commitment of a special number.

Preparation for Special Numbers is typically begun in the summer or early fall, in anticipation of the winter competion season.

Please contact the studio if you are interested in preparing a Special Number and would like more information.
