WHAT IS A COMPETITIVE CLASS?
A competitive class will work every week towards the successful completion of a routine. This routine will be competed with at several local competitions near the end of the dance season (March – May). Students enrolled in these classes understand the level of commitment required to participate in a competitive class. Attendance is extremely important as well as a desire to perform on stage. Competitive students are responsible for all competition fees and must adhere to the policies and procedures of the studio for competitive students.Competitive students pay a monthly fee as well as any additional studio & competitive fees required by their class. Fees may be paid on a monthly, or annual basis in advance. All fees are due on the first weekend of each month. Late fees apply. There are no refunds for absences or cancellations with competitive classes.

WHAT IS A TEAM CLASS?
A team is the next level of competitive dance classes often running twice/week; pushing boundaries on both technical training as well as commitment. Teams are Audition based.
A team is more selective with its members because in this class setting the teacher needs to create a specific vibe in the room with students of the same caliber and focus. What makes the process different in a team is that the teacher focuses heavily on training technique through drills, freestyle, and student challenges where everyone in the room has to push to become a leader and direct a piece on their own. There is more pressure in a team and absolutely no tolerence for unexcused absences or tardiness. Pre-Professional Teams also perform or compete at other venues and competitions outside of edmonton to rep 3sb and edmonton street dance at the highest level as well as to bond with each other and create positive synergy with all members.

WHAT IS A COMPANY LEVEL CLASS?
This elite audition based program has 3 levels (Youth, Teens and Young Adults) and is reserved for the highest level dancers who execute choreography and freestyle well beyond regular classes or teams.
