SEASON 15 AUDITION INFORMATION
​
At Sarasota Dance Academy, we value the strength and versatility dancers gain through a strong foundation in ballet as well as contemporary, jazz, tap and acrobatics techniques. Each class focuses on developing the dancer’s technique, discipline, artistry, and performance skills.

At this level, dancers attend a minimum of 4-6 competitions, including x1 convention (additional events are available for students wishing to gain more performing experience). Students have the opportunity to compete solos, duets and trios in addition to 2-6 group pieces per season.
