We welcome new dancers into our competitive programs each year, with annual auditions held at our studio during the month of May. All prospective team members must attend open auditions, be at least five years old, have prior dance experience, and pre-register with a $25 audition fee.

During auditions, students will be evaluated on their skills in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Contemporary, as well as on their flexibility, attitude, commitment, and technique. Dancers who have not previously taken classes are encouraged to complete at least one year of training before auditioning.

For the ballet portion, female dancers should wear a leotard and tights in any color or style. Fitted dance shorts may be added for the Tap and Jazz sections. Proper footwear for each genre is required, and no outside shoes are allowed on the dance floor. Hair should be pulled neatly away from the face in a ponytail or bun.

If a dancer is accepted onto the team, they will be required to register for summer classes and attend the MKDC intensive. Throughout the season they are also required to take the classes below through MK Dance Academy.

We’re always excited to welcome new dancers into our community and see fresh energy, talent, and dedication shine through each season. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to share another inspiring and rewarding year of dance together.
