    Placement on Rhythm Avenue's Dance Team is by audition only, held throughout our June summer classes. Many factors contribute to team placement including physical, emotional and psychological development, and degree of personal commitment to training.


    Please note that while an audition does not guarantee placement on a specific team, most dancers who audition will be placed within our program at an appropriate level. The audition process allows us to assess each dancer’s skills and ensure they are placed in the environment best suited for their growth and development.
