I have prior commitments through June, will that affect me making the team? 

• Not at all!  We fully expect you to follow through with your prior commitments and studio recital dates - you will not be penalized for this. Please just communicate as far in advance as possible so that we can make a plan together.

Can I still take studio classes and be on the dance team?

• Yes! It is very possible, however we do ask that FRDT comes first. Our schedule can change throughout the season due to building scheduling at Fossil Ridge - therefore the expectation is that you adjust your schedule to accomodate FRDT practices.

Can I still compete with my studio and be on the dance team?  

• It is very difficult, but it can be done. All 3 parties have to be in open, realistic and honest communication about requirements and expectations.
