MORE THAN WEEKLY CLASSES. A PLACE TO TRAIN, PERFORM, AND GROW TOGETHER.

TEAM APPLICATION

INTRODUCTION

More Than Weekly Classes.

Recruits was created for dancers who are ready for more challenge, consistency, and connection than a weekly class can provide.

The team gives dancers the opportunity to train more intentionally, learn choreography in a rehearsal environment, prepare for performances, and understand what it means to contribute to something larger than themselves.

Some dancers join Recruits as the next step toward Collective. Others discover that Recruits is exactly where they want to continue growing. There is no pressure to follow one path. What matters most is finding the team where you feel challenged, supported, and inspired.

Before You Take the Next Step

Joining a performance team is an exciting step, and we want you to feel confident before making that commitment. Here are a few questions we hear most often to help you decide if Recruits is the right fit for you.

 

  • No. Previous team experience is not required. Recruits is designed for dancers who are ready to move beyond the weekly class environment, including dancers joining a team for the first time. Some previous dance or choreography experience is helpful.

  • Our primary opportunities are our annual Auditions, typically held each January, and our Mid-Season Open Rehearsals, which allow dancers to experience the team environment before placement. We also offer private auditions or evaluations throughout the year when appropriate.

    Our directors consider each dancer’s skill, experience, growth potential, and overall fit so they can recommend the team where that dancer will be challenged, supported, and set up for success. Dancers selected for Recruits will be invited to join the team.

    Our directors carefully consider each dancer's skill, experience, growth potential, and overall fit to ensure they're placed where they'll be challenged, supported, and set up for success. Dancers who are selected will be invited to join Collective.

  • Recruits rehearses every Thursday from 7:00 PM–10:00 PM throughout the season.

    We encourage dancers to attend consistently, come prepared, practice outside of rehearsal, and continue training whenever possible. We value commitment and accountability while understanding that dancers are also balancing work, school, family, and other responsibilities.

  • Yes. Recruits can be a bridge toward Collective for dancers who want to continue developing their skills and are ready for a new challenge. Movement between teams is based on growth, experience, and director placement—not a required timeline.

  • Absolutely. Recruits is not simply a temporary step. Many dancers value its training, leadership, creative direction, and team culture and choose to continue growing there. Every dancer is welcome to follow the path that feels right for them.

  • Absolutely. Weekly classes are available for dancers who want to continue learning without joining a performance team. Team members are also encouraged to continue taking classes as part of their ongoing training.
