Company Requirements

CTD dancers will have specific requirements throughout the year. ​Requirements include attending a certain number of Summer Classes, attending Choreography Week in August, enrolling in specific School Year Session classes, and attending 3-5 CTD performances per season (dates TBD). Although there are requirements for all dancers who participate in the CTD Performance Company, we strive to make CTD a reasonable option for all families, both in terms of commitment level and financial obligations! Having your dancer participate in only two out of three dances is a great option for families who are looking for less time commitment. Participating in ALL dances is a great option for dancers who are deeply invested in dance! 

Summer Classes 

Dancers in CTD will be required to attend a certain number of summer drop-in classes leading up to Choreography Week in August! Summer class requirements are determined based on the Company that your dancer is placed in and the types of dance that they have auditioned for. Summer dance classes are required to ensure that dancers are maintaining their strength and dance skills over the summer! Please email ctd-events@creationdancestudio.com to receive a CTD Information Packet and a CTD Class Requirements Packet.

Choreography Week

Choreography Week will be held 8/14-8/18. During this extremely fun week, dancers will learn all of their CTD choreography, get to know their fellow company members, do team building activities, and take dance classes!

School Year Session Requirements

Depending on how the types of dance that your dancer is participating in, they will have certain class requirements during the school year so that they can continue to learn and grow as dancers! School Year Session requirements are determined based on the Company that your dancer is placed in and the types of dance that they have auditioned for. In addition to required classes, dancers in all companies will have ONE one-hour rehearsal per week during the School Year Session where they practice their dances and prepare for upcoming performances! Please email ctd-events@creationdancestudio.com to receive a CTD Information Packet and a CTD Class Requirements Packet.
