Performing Arts with a Difference
Here are just a few of the many things our studio has to offer:
1. Injury Prevention Training = more time on the dance floor and less to no time on crutches
2. Performance Skills = stand out at tryouts/auditions, better scores at competitions
3. Emphasis on Technique = sharper moves, longer lines for faster turns and higher kicks
4. Full Conditioning = flexibility, strength, stamina
​
With these tools & practices in place, you will have an overall better experience with your team!
School Dance Teams: Poms, Orchesis
We know its an acomplishment for you to make it onto the high school varsity dance team and our students have done just that, many of them making Varsity their Freshman year at Carl Sandburg, Oak Forest, Naperville North, Lincoln Way West, Lincoln Way Central, Victor J. Andrew, Plainfield South and more.
The first thought you have is, "I want to be on the dance team!".
You do your best to prepare, eagerly waiting for audition day and then comes the audition.
Auditions can be nerve-racking and stressful for anyone, but auditioning for the dance team can be exceptionally stressful if you don't have any dance experience. At auditions, you're required to show your abilities in musicality, flexibility, strength, performance, and more. For someone with little to no experience, this can be overwhelming.
But have no fear, Connections Studio is here! And we are here to help.

Some questions or concerns auditionees have are...
-
How do I improve or advance my dance technique?
-
Where can I learn how to do these steps and "tricks" required by the team?
-
What is a triple pirouette? Fouette turns?
The truth is these steps, moves, and sequences take YEARS to maste, especially if you have little to no dance training BEFORE trying out. Fortunately, some basic technique & instruction can help you overcome those obstacles and you'll be well on your way!
Connections Studio is on a mission to help YOU improve your dance skills. More importantly, we want to help you with your INDIVIDUAL needs BEFORE & AFTER you try out for the team not just leading up to your audition day.
