1 Fusion Force Pom Pon Elite Dance Team General Information We are so glad to have you here and interested in becoming part of this exciting team! Our goal is to give all of our dancers a strong technical base to perform challenging and innovative choreography while instilling a strong work ethic and demand for teamwork. Fusion Force Pom Pon Dance Team is an opportunity for each dancer to excel and improve in a competitive environment, have the thrill of performing at competitions and around our region. Fusion Force is a commitment! When you choose to be part of Competitive team you are making a commitment to everyone on the team to be at rehearsals and to participate fully throughout the entire season. Our schedule based firstly on the quality of the events and secondly on how it will benefit our dancers. Each event will be chosen to allow for a nice schedule that does not jam everything into 1 month and above all else that gives our dancers an opportunity to excel. Any other extra-curricular activities or commitments that you have need to be written down and turned with your information sheet by the first week of team practice, any concessions that need to be made for your dancer will be considered only if brought to us in a timely manner. Please do not or text us the day of an event that conflicts with a rehearsal, part of being a team member is learning to be organized and taking responsibility for your schedule, we are here to help you and work with you, but we always have to have the good of the GROUP in mind and we ask you to remember that we are scheduling for many families, not just yours. All decisions and final say come down to Miss Christine and Miss Jenny. As a Company member you are required to adhere to the set rehearsal schedule. Your team class time will be your technique & choreography time slots. Because this will be a class, it will be paid to the studio as regular tuition. There may be additional weekend rehearsals and of course competition weekends that the staff will be working for you, there is no additional charge for the staff s time during these long rehearsals and weekends your tuition will cover all our coaching time. Required Classes All team members must attend the rehearsal class each week. Again all your team classes are part of your regular studio tuition deducted from your studio account the first of each month. We feel the more you are in the studio training the faster you will grow as dancers and the more well-rounded you will become. It is also highly recommended to take a technique or ballet class as well as one of our acro classes, but these are not mandatory for participation.
