Registration and Auditions
Registrationopens online every year on the Sunday following our recital in April. Anyone age 3 (sometimes 2 if the child is mature) - 100 can sign up for classes! Classes run August through April and fees are based on the number of hours per week a student takes class. Fees are divided to create 9 equal monthly installments. Families with 2 or more dancers qualify for a discount!
Performance Company and Competition Team are audition only! Dancers must attend the week long audition camp to be considered and all decisions on members are at the discretion of WGR and are non-contestable.
Performance Company
With approximately 40 students performing in this group each year, we focus on giving back to our community. We perform at any event for free, but do accept donations. We also present our abridged version of The Nutcracker each year.
Some of the events we have performed for :
- Fundraisers
- Fire Departments
- Nursing homes
- Festivals
- Community events
- United Way
- Walk For Hope
- Benefits
Competition Team
If you are selected as a competition team member you are required to take Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern classes and possibly others depending on the student. Rehearsals will be held on Fridays directly after school each week along with other times during the week. Competition Team members are required to be on the Performance Company and perform with them at all events. In addition to this, team members will be required to compete at 4 regional competitions and attend the two designated dance conventions. This is a huge commitment for the dancer and their parents.
We have also participated in major performance events such as the Liberty Bowl Half-Time Show, The Electric Parade at Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios, National Dance Day in Time Square, NYC , The New Amsterdam Theater in NYC, and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
