Letter of Commitment (must be signed by end of evening at mandatory parent meeting on Tuesday, May 27th at 6:30 in Seton’s Halo Café).

The additional letter of commitment is required indicating your understanding of our rules and expectations at this level. Both the Youth and Youth Prep teams are competition teams and a commitment to the team, including all practices, competitions & performances, is necessary for participation.

NOTE: Since 6th graders for the 2025/2026 season are eligible for both the Junior High team and Youth/Youth Prep program they have the choice of which team(s) they would like to participate in the tryout/placement process for. If they chose to tryout for Junior High and are not chosen for that team as a 6th grader, they will be placed on either our Youth or Youth Prep team based on their Junior High tryout and will need to confirm their participation on their assigned team to those individual team coaches. Dancers are not required to tryout for Junior High as a 6th grader. Please review the handbook for explanation of the differences between our Junior High team and Youth/Youth Prep program when making the decision on what is best for your dancer.
