Take you passion for dance to the next level.
Team DIDC is our competitive dance program for dancers who are ready to challenge themselves, build their confidence, and become part of something bigger than themselves.
For team inquiries, please approach Miss Katie or Miss JJ at the studio or email us at: Team@DIDC.dance
A Commitment Worth Making
Our season includes three regional competitions, a Solo/Duo/Trio competition, a dance convention, a Team Showcase, and special team events and celebrations throughout the year. For us, competition is about more than awards—it's about learning, receiving valuable feedback, challenging yourself, and seeing your hard work come to life on stage.
We encourage our dancers to approach their dance training with the same dedication they bring to their academics. Our goal is for Team DIDC to help dancers grow not only as performers, but as confident, responsible, and well-rounded individuals.
Reasons Why This Program Might Be A Good Fit For You:

Dance Team Entry Fees
Fees are approximately $75–$85 per dancer per routine per competition. Please be aware that if you are in 3 routines, you have to pay 3 entry fees. Solos, duos, and trios may compete as well for an additional $95-190 per dance per competition. We will participate in at least 3 competitions and possibly other community performances. Dancers may also have the option of attending a dance convention (a day of master classes with teachers from across the country) and/or a National Competition.
*There is an annual Team Fee that is roughly $250 which is due once you sign the Team Handbook in September.
Dance Team Costumes
Dance Team Costumes are approximately $85-120 each. Payment follows the regular schedule – costume deposits ($50 per costume) will be due on November 1st and the balance will be due on December 10th.
Dance Team Jackets
Dance Team Jackets are approximately $90-130. Matching dance pants are approximately $45-65. Jackets are REQUIRED – pants are optional. These are a one-time purchase – you only will need a new jacket year-to-year if you grow out of it or lose it.
Makeup & Earrings
Team members are all required to have specific makeup – we order team makeup kits through the studio (included in the annual team fee). Earrings, also available through the studio only, are approximately $15. They are available as clip-on’s and posts. Earrings do not need to be repurchased year-to-year unless you need replacements.
Attendance & Commitment
Our attendance expectations are:
Up to 3 absences from Team rehearsals
Up to 5 absences from required recreational or technique classes
Up to 2 absences from required production classes
Solos/Duos/Trios
These opportunities are reserved for dancers who are technically ready and willing to put in the extra time, practice, and commitment needed to develop their performance. Rehearsal takes place outside of regular team classes, and dancers are expected to take ownership of their additional practice.
Being considered does not guarantee placement, and additional fees apply.
