Teams & Solos
Wellington Dance & Performing Arts Academy offers age-appropriate performance opportunities for all students. As students progress through the ballet and jazz grades, this can include learning group or solo routines for dance competitions.
Here are the steps for those interested:
- Talk with your teacher or Suzanne and let them know you are interested.
- If we think it is the right time and fit for you, we will recommend you audition for a team or crew.
- From these, we select soloists.
We have a closed facebook group for WDA families who are involved with teams or solos. Information about upcoming competitions, entry forms etc will be posted there.
