Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience?
No! This is the perfect way to get your dancer prepared for the High School Dance Team! Experience can be helpful, everyone has to start somewhere, and it's best to start young!
Can I use the same shoes I use at the Studio?
Yes! As long as they are not damaged and don't have holes, you are encouraged to use the same shoes for studio and MS Dance Team! We are using Tan shoes this year.
Will the team be making cuts?
For the first year, we are NOT making cuts! Anyone can join the team! However, not everyone is guaranteed to perform. Our coaches will work hard every day to make sure your dancer is learning the necessary skills in order to compete!
Can/SHOULD we still do Studio Dance if we join the middle school team?
YES!!! This is the best thing you can do for your dancer! Both studio and our team will teach all the skills needed to make the varsity team and compete with the expected level of difficulty once they reach 9th grade. The Kiel Dance Team prides itself on always pushing creative boundaries and that will extend to the middle school. The more technique training, the better! We will try to work with your studio schedules!
Where/When will they perform?
It is our hope to perform at one football game in October, a handful of Varsity basketball games, 2-4 local competitions, State and the annual Dance Showcase in February. Our season runs September-February.
Who can join?
Any students enrolled at Kiel Middle School!
