HARRISON TEAM

For the inaugural season we will be hosting a placement class in leu of an audition. The goal of the class will be to introduce dancers to the level of classes the team will participate in. We will also use this class to determine if a dancer has what it takes to be on the team. This is less about skills and more about personality, willingness to learn, and maturity. This will allow us to form groupings of dancers that fit well together. Based on the number and age of dancers we may have multiple groupings.

The Placement Class will be held on 6/19/2024 from 6-7pm.  In addition, we will have staff available to answer any questions and talk through details. To sign up for the team class please complete a “Harrison Audition Form”. If you are not able to make the class, please reach out to see about scheduling a make-up session.
