Are solo’s guaranteed?

No. Solos, duos, and trios are not guaranteed and are offered at the discretion of the studio director and faculty. Placement is based on factors including technique, performance ability, maturity, and overall readiness for additional competitive routines.

What if we miss auditions?

If your dancer is unable to attend scheduled auditions, please contact the studio director allie@kinesiodancecollective.com as soon as possible. In some cases, an alternative audition, class evaluation, or private assessment may be arranged based on availability.

What if my dancer makes the team but financially we have concerns, can we decline?

Of course. Auditioning does not obligate your dancer to accept a team placement. We understand that competitive dance is a significant commitment, and families are encouraged to carefully consider scheduling and financial responsibilities before accepting a position on the team.

We encourage open communication and are always happy to answer questions regarding expectations, commitments, and payment options when available.
