NUMBER OF TEAMS

We would like for MDP Company Families to participate on a minimum of 7 teams if available for your dancer(s). We know that this may not work out in some cases and we are not requiring that this is the case. Some dancers are on as many at 13 teams and as little as 2. We will put your child where he/she fits best and on the amount of teams, we would like them on. If you need to pull back due to financial reasons we will decide which teams to pull. All dancers will be required to be on at least 1 line before being placed on other groups. Lines are larger groups of 20 or more dancers. This will help to promote teamwork and unity throughout the studio.

SOLOS

Please remember that teams are the most important part of the MDP Company.  If you need to cut back please cut back on Solos before cutting back on teams. A dancer cannot have 3 solos and only be on 3 teams. For each solo, we would like for each dancer to be on 2 teams. Solos cannot be added later if you are not on the appropriate amount of teams. We do suggest that dancers that are at the top of their age division do 2 solos. 2 solos give the dancers more opportunities at success.

This is a Company for dancers on the Competition Company. This Company is by invite only. This Company requires travel outside of California for 2024 (Las Vegas only). Expenses are higher and training is more specified. Dancers perform and compete at Convention in addition to the normal competitions. This Company is primarily for dancers 13 years and older but has a training program for dancers 9-12 years old. Full details are given once you are invited on to the Company.
