Fusion Dance Carroll Competition Team Auditions!
When: Wednesday, May 28th & Thursday, May 29th
Where: Fusion Dance
Who: Grades K-12th (entering into, Fall of 2025)
Once you arrive to tryouts, dancers will sign up for whichever style they wish to participate in and then attend the class/tryout. Any dancers interested in a solo, duo or trio, we will have a sign-up sheet available. We will choose solos, duos, and trios based on your audition, there is no separate audition for this.
Each age group is REQUIRED to attend the ballet technique portion of the audition, regardless of which style you are auditioning for. A leotard, tights, ballet shoes, and hair slicked back in a bun is REQUIRED for the ballet technique portion.
There is a separate Tap Audition for grades 4th-12th.
We will again hold auditions for an Elite, Competitive Group, grades 4th-12th. Dancers will be expected to first participate in the groups they audition and are selected for. This Elite Group provides additional opportunity for the dancers to perform, and is an add-on on top of what you are already partaking in. We will be very selective on who gets placed in these groups. We would highly suggest you be confident in your flexibility, turns and jumps, and be working on these between now and then.

The cost to participate in competition for the 2024-25 season was $525 per routine. Depending on cost for the upcoming season, the fee will be around that amount.
That includes choreography, weekly practices, costume, and 3 regional competitions. Final costs will be made known later in the summer once the Competitions have released their information to us.
Additional costs include...
- Mandatory summer MUSE Workshop (August 16th-17th at Fusion Dance Omaha or Carroll, location TBD). The cost has yet to be finalized with MUSE, last year the cost was $185.
- A $30 team fee that allows the dancers to participate in various competition activities put on by our Parent Club (Adventureland, Movie Night, Bowling, etc.).
- We also require our competition dancers attend a ballet technique class that meets once a week. Cost is $25/month.
- And, after groups have been decided, dancers assigned to a MUSE choreographer will have an additional cost based on the choreography rate. This is typically decided later in the summer. The dates for those groups chosen for MUSE choreography are August 12th-15th, location TBD. For soloists using a MUSE choreographer, those dates are August 12th-15th, or August 18th-19th, location TBD. We may use the Omaha dates for a group if need be.
Informational Meeting:
We will be holding an informational meeting on Wednesday, May 14th at 6pm at Fusion Dance for those interested in auditioning for the 2025-26 Competition Team. We do encourage former team members/parents to attend. It's a great time to ask all the questions! We hope you can make it!
Don’t forget to sign up for Summer Classes!
