COMPETITION PROGRAM GOALS
Dancers take classes with their groups during the competitive season, which takes place from August to June. During this time, dancers rehearse choreography while receiving pre-professional training specific to each dance style. Each company competes at a total of four regional competitions in the Twin Cities area during the spring and one national competition at a location within driving distance from the Twin Cities in the summer. They also perform in the JHDCo. Recital in early June!
During other times of the year, dancers interested in joining the competition program should call a Customer Service Representative at 763-413-0647 and request to meet with the JHDCo. Dance Director.
