WhatsApp All parents need to download this free app IMMEDIATELY. This is our main source of communication throughout the season. Once you have downloaded the app we will add you to the Fusion Dance Competition Group. Please be sure to do this as soon as possible!
If any dancer is limited to the number of competition groups they can partake in they need to email the studio by Friday, June 21st, as we plan to organize groups soon. EMAIL ONLY PLEASE. fusiondancecarrollia@gmail.com If we are notified any later than the given deadline, then you will be charged a $100 fee/dance due to the amount of time and organizing that goes into planning these groups. Once groups are decided, they are FINAL.
What to expect with competition:
Cost: $500-$550/routine (includes costume, rehearsal time, choreography, and 3 competition registration fees). There is an additional cost to be a part of a MUSE group. Please read the red paragraph below for more information.
Additional Classes: ALL competition dancers are REQUIRED to participate in ballet technique. Cost is $25/month. As well students must participate in an additional, recreational class for every competition group they are placed in. For example: your dancer is grouped in a hip hop, jazz and lyrical competition group. They must also take a recreational hip hop class, ballet technique, and their regular, recreational combo class. If your dancer is grouped in jazz and lyrical, they must also take ballet technique and their regular, recreational combo class. We also have some NEW classes being added this fall that would greatly benefit our competitive dancers, Flexibility, Extensions & Conditioning, and Turns, Leaps & Jumps. We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE our dancers to sign up for these classes!
Team Activities: The Fusion Dance Parent Club puts on various activities and events for the competition team throughout the dance season. Each competition dancer will need to pay a $30 fee to participate. Some of the events include a Holiday Party, Competition Team Showcase, Adventureland, and so much more!
Competitions: Dates and details to be released in August.
MUSE Workshop: It is MANDATORY that all competition dancers attend the MUSE Workshop. Every competition dancer has already been registered for this workshop. This year's workshop is August 10th & 11th at Fusion Dance: Omaha. Click HERE for the workshop schedule. See below for the Cost Options.
MUSE Workshop Cost Options:
Option 1: Cost is $185, cash or check, due July 31st.
Option 2: OR, if you want payment to be charged to your account, it will be $195, taken out automatically on August 1st.
NO VENMO ALLOWED.
MUSE Choreography: If your dancer is selected to be a part of a MUSE group (choreographed by a MUSE Choreographer), there will be an additional charge for each dancer in these groups. This is due to MUSE increasing their choreography costs. If this is a major issue, please contact us and we will make sure your dancer is not put into a MUSE dance. Please save the following dates for MUSE Choreography, August 6th-9th in Carroll & August 12th-13th in Omaha.
Summer Classes: We are requiring our competition dancers (entering 6th grade Fall of 2024 and up) to attend at the very least, 8 punch pass classes this summer. 3 of the 8 must be Ballet Technique. We strongly encourage our competitive dancers to continue their training throughout the summer months, and a great way to do that is to attend classes! It also helps to prepare our dancers for the MUSE Workshop in August!
More information will be given throughout the summer regarding groups, choreography, etc.
We are excited for a new competition season!
Enjoy your summer!
