Mission

Eclipse will offer serious dancers a chance to hone their technique and performance skills in a rigorous and disciplined environment.  Through competition performances, dancers work toward a common goal and learn valuable lessons in teamwork, dedication, responsibility, and commitment.  Fierce, Lil Clipz, and Min-Eclipse will compete with one jazz routine, and, if rehearsal time permits, an additional dance category (hip-hop, lyrical, etc.)  Tap Team will compete with one tap routine.

 

Prerequisites/Audition Dates
