Competitions are an excellent way to challenge students to extend their dance technique and performance. All students are eligible to do competition solos, duos, and trios in any style in which they are undertaking tuition at CBDS.
Dance competitions require a high standard of training and commitment. Dancers need to be passionate and motivated for regular home practise. The participation in ballet class, technique and the specific style of dance (for solos etc) are compulsory for competition registration.
Expression of interest can be sent via email to CBDS administration [cherylbradleydance@outlook.com] after checking the Competition Handbook above for fees, diary dates, and desired level of commitment. Private Lesson bookings are strictly limited so please expect to attend on a different day or evening to regular classes. This also ensures dancers have the energy and focus required to benefit from private tuition.
The CBDS Competition Coaching Team can provide guidance on genre style for solos (and will ultimately decide when a dancer is ready for competition participation). For Duos and Trios please ensure interest and commitment of all dancers /parents involved before emailing expression of interest.
For email requests please include:
-
The genre of routine(s) dancer is interested in.
-
Names of confirmed duo/trio partners (if applicable)
-
A guide to days/ times of availability (multiple time/day options and details of definite non-availability).
(NOTE: If in duo/trio, availability MUST be for both students.)
The CBDS team will confirm via return email your allocated private lesson time/s. Most lessons run on a fortnightly-rotating schedule.
