Legends Overview and Information
Legends - Dance Works’s competition and performance group/team. Dancers are chosen through an audition process based on several qualities and abilities.
We choose dancers based on work ethic, focus, willingness, flexibility and ability. We believe everyone can bring something to the table. All dancers from novice to advanced could have a chance to make it into the team. The number one factor is fearlessness when it comes to trying new things and good movement quality. We expect dancers to be bold in their attempts.
Dancers will be exposed to ballet, hip hop, tap, jazz, african, acrobatics and lyrical choreography. If they excel in at least one of these, AND give us a fair attempt in all of these, they have a spot on the team. We do not have a limited number of spots to fill.
