Dance Team FAQs

Dance Team candidates should love dancing at Kick It Up, be excited to work together as part of a team and meet the current age and training requirements for the team they are auditioning for.

Prospective dancers should participate in the current Dance Team audition process. New families may also be asked to attend a Dance Team parent meeting where the KIU team will explain the season, expectations and next steps.

Audition dates and eligibility requirements may change each season. Review the current audition information or contact KIU for the latest details.

Dance Team costs can include competition entry fees, monthly team fees, costumes, required makeup and earrings, dance shoes, tights, team apparel and regular class tuition.

The total cost depends on the dancer’s team, number of routines and current competition-season pricing. Some items may be reused from one season to the next.

Families should review the current Dance Team Handbook, billing schedule and class requirements for verified pricing.

Kick It Up offers Dance Team opportunities for different experience levels, including beginner, intermediate and advanced dancers.

Specific skills, recommended classes and age requirements vary by team. The current Dance Team Handbook explains the requirements for each team and the classes dancers should take alongside rehearsals.

If you are unsure which team may be appropriate, speak with your instructor or contact the KIU Dance Team team for guidance.

Dancers generally rehearse with each team once per week while continuing technique training in their required classes.

The exact weekly commitment depends on the dancer’s age group, team level and number of teams. Dancers participating in multiple teams may have overlapping technique requirements, but each team will have its own rehearsal.

Review the current Dance Team Handbook for the latest team-specific class and rehearsal requirements.
