COMPETITION TEAM

KSAD Company 2025-2026

​

Our award-winning Karen Sachs Academy of Dance competition team is perfect for dancers who love to dance, perform, express, learn, and are willing to be challenged. Open-minded dancers who consistently attend class, are open to feedback, are comfortable exploring movement, and are eager to work hard to accomplish their goals will go far. At KSAD, teachers strive to foster a positive and safe environment where dancers can learn, be pushed in performance, technique, athleticism, and discipline, to grow their confidence in themselves as they progress in their dance journey.  

​

Auditions for the 2025-2026 dance year will be held in June, specific dates TBA, followed by our intensive week Monday 6/9 - Saturday 6/14. Both the audition and intensive week are required to be attended in order to audition for the competition team. Saturday 6/14 will be team meeting day to plan for the new season ahead. Dancers will also have an opportunity for one-on-one feedback. 

​

Following the intensive, dancers will be mailed a final letter either recommending classes to help them meet their goals or inviting dancers into dance routines that will compete come spring of 2026. Dancers can accept or decline routines they are invited to join. The requirements per routine will be listed in the invitation to help families make decisions best for them and their dancer.

 

Some students commit to one competition routine, while others commit to multiple. It never matters to us how much you commit to - we want to see your dancer succeed, and we support the decisions made to do so, especially if it's your first year joining the team or you have a younger dancer. 

​

We know committing can be overwhelming, but we aim to foster and support each dancer's journey. We thank you for choosing us and entrusting your child with us and our program. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to your teacher or us directly.

​

Happy dancing, and best of luck to all dancers auditioning,

​
