Pom line information 2008 – 2009
Are you interested in being in a pom line? Here is some information to help you decide if competition pom line is right for you.
Please speak with your child’s instructor if you are interested. There is limited space in these groups. Auditions for the pom lines are July 28th – August 7th. We have also are offering a pom preview class June 24th – July 10th for anyone who is interested in a pom line but would like to try it first. In addition to the pom class dancers must also be registered in the fall for a combination (tap/jazz) class appropriate for their age and level. Tuition for the pom class and the combination class is $105 per month for Gems and $100 per month for Glitters and Jewels. This tuition amount also includes costs for their additional competition pom costume, pom pons and competition fees. Separate competition shoes for pom line dancers will most likely need to be purchased separately.
Pom lines compete at three regional competitions each year. These competitions are held in the spring between March and May and are located in St. Paul or Minneapolis. The pom lines sometime have an option to attend a national competition in the summer at a location chosen by the directors. Competition fees and rehearsals for nationals would be a separate charge. This competition is often out of state depending on what locations are offered each year. In the past we have traveled to St. Louis, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Virginia Beach, Boston, Tampa and Chicago. We have had the opportunity to compete in the Twin Cities four summers.
The pom lines also perform in many of the WDC spring recitals.
Fundraising opportunities are available to those who choose to participate including selling wreaths, working at the Xcel and doing concessions at our recitals. Membership in the Youth Dance Parent Association is required for many of the fundraising opportunities.
