ADC Elite Competition Team
By adding this class to your cart, you agree to the class policies.
There are no make-up classes for the ADC Elite Competition Program. We encourage your child to attend all classes. We offer private lessons for an additional charge if they require extra help
More than one unexcused absence will result in removal from the ADC Elite Competition Team.
If absences begin to affect a dancer’s performance, an alternate will be considered as a replacement.
Applause reserves the right to dismiss a student, without refund, whose conduct or influence, in the opinion of the Program Director, is not in the best interests of the class.
Students must wear all black to each class. Black yoga pants, black leggings, black tank tops, black t-shirts and/or black leotards are acceptable. All dancers should have athletic sneakers or jazz sneakers preferable in black. White, silver, or gray accents are acceptable.
Uniform ADC teamwear will be required for all competition weekends. Teamwear options will be available for purchase via links provided by the ADC Elite Competition Team Coordinator.
Parents will be responsible for all competition fees, including, but not limited to, costume fees, entry fees, media packet, etc. Parents will also be responsible for travel, meals/snacks during competitions, and helping your child at the competition (chaperoning, hair, makeup, etc.).
Parents must fill out a conflict sheet with your child’s scheduled conflicts and return it to Applause prior to the first day of class.
All solo and/or duet requests must be submitted by the third week of class for review by the Director of Dance.
Students MUST be available for the ENTIRE competition weekend to be eligible for the program. Students may not miss more than 1 pre-planned class, except in the case of illness or family emergency.
Students may be required to produce a negative Covid test prior to competition weekend depending on the rules set forth by the competition committee.
CANCELLATION POLICY: There will be no refunds or credits given for our weekend program.
RETURNED CHECKS: A $30.00 fee will be charged for each check returned from the bank for any reason.
Applause may make changes of any nature at any time and from time to time to its classes, calendar, schedule, standards, policies, requirements, rules, and procedures whenever Applause deems it necessary or desirable in connection with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. This may include, but is not limited to, changes in modes or methods of delivery of classes, modifying or rescheduling classes, and requiring compliance with new, additional, or modified standards, policies, procedures, or rules intended for the protection of the health and safety of our community. If guidelines for room capacities change, the location of rehearsals may be subject to change.
