Dance Intensive (Ages 5-8) Details

Embark on a journey to competitive dance with ROOTS Dance Intensive, a specialized program designed for ambitious young dancers aged 5-9. This intensive is not just a dance camp; it’s a preparatory ground for those ready to step into the competitive dance arena.

Whether your child has their sights set on joining a competition team or simply wants to elevate their skills to another level, our dance intensive offers the perfect environment. It’s an opportunity for serious dancers to immerse themselves in an array of styles, receiving focused training that hones their technique, skills and creativity.

While the ROOTS Dance Intensive serves as an ideal preparation for our Competition Company team auditions, participating in the auditions is optional. We understand that each dancer’s journey is unique, and our program is designed to cater to those diverse aspirations.

Attending this intensive means receiving top-tier training that can significantly boost a dancer’s capabilities, providing them with the tools and confidence needed for the competitive dance world. While not all who audition may secure a spot on the team, this intensive is undoubtedly the best avenue to refine one’s talents and showcase their abilities to their fullest potential.

  • Advanced techniques in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro and a couple of surprise styles (we’re all about the well-rounded dancer)
  • Strength and nutrition workshops
  • Personalized feedback and development strategies

The intensive culminates in an audition opportunity for the ROOTS Competition Company, allowing dancers to apply their enhanced skills and showcase their readiness for competitive performance. This will happen on Friday, July 25, 2024.

  • Any dance apparel (i.e. leotard, leggings, dance top, tank tops, dance shorts, etc.)
  • Dancers will need pirouettes or jazz shoes, ballet shoes, and tennis shoes/layers for hip hop.
  • Socks are permitted for contemporary/lyrical.
  • Hair is required to be pulled up and out of the face.

Is your child ready to rise in the world of competitive dance? Register for the ROOTS Dance Intensive and watch them develop the skills and confidence needed for success. While the audition is optional, the experience and training they’ll gain are invaluable. Secure their spot now and propel their dance journey to new heights!
