2026/2027 Competition Company

Congratulations!

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2026–2027 Footworks Dance Company Competition Team! We are excited to dance with you this season and look forward to an incredible year of growth, teamwork, and success.

​

Now that team placements have been finalized, it is time to complete your registration and confirm your teams. Please use the links provided below to review team placements and complete your registration.

​

Elite Team Dancers

If you have been selected for an Elite Team, please review the team requirements carefully. Elite Teams have additional expectations and commitments beyond those of our Twinkler and Star Teams. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, please do not hesitate to reach out.

​

Important Team Name Update

We have received feedback that having two teams with the name “Gold” has caused some confusion. To provide greater clarity, the Teen/Senior Gold Team will now be known as Ruby. Aside from the name change, all team expectations and requirements remain the same.

 

Fall Schedule Information

We are currently working through final registrations and building the season schedule. A finalized schedule will be released within the next month. In the meantime, please use the following as a general guide:

 

- Group team classes will be held on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings.

- Platinum and Gold dancers can expect most classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

- Ruby dancers (formerly Teen/Senior Gold) can expect most classes on Monday and Thursday evenings.

- Twinkler dancers can expect most classes on Tuesday evenings.

- Star dancers can expect classes on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings.

- Wednesday evenings will be reserved for solos, duets/trios, Shooting Stars classes, and Enrichment Academy classes.
