Pre-Troupe Plus Program

(By Recommendation Only)

DANCE ZONE PRE TROUPES:

MINNIE * SHINE

All Dance Zone PTP Programs dance 2hrs per week for a 32-week session.

Our Pre-Troupe Plus programs include Jazz, Tap & Hip-Hop dance styles. These classes will give students the preparatory skills needed to advance into a troupe program in the future.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• All Pre-Troupe Plus students will be required to participate in both DanceAbition Halifax and Millennium Dance Festival – Dartmouth. Entry Fees have been included in your costume/event fees. DanceAbition Cape Breton will be optional for our Pre-Troupe Plus.

• Ballet – Ballet is optional however it is strongly encouraged and recommended for all students. Ballet is the foundation of all dance and it so important for dancers to be part of a regular Ballet program to focus on overall body alignment and technical awareness.

• Performance tights are not included in your costume fee, therefore each Pre-Troupe Plus member will be responsible for ensuring they have a pair of performance tights as per our Dance Zone recommendation.

• Troupes & Pre-Troupe Plus - Involvement in outside competitions in addition to what is designated for Dance Zone will be decided at the discretion of Dance Zone directors.
