- Is there an audition or tryout required to make the team? No. We do not audition candidates for The Diamond Co. All are welcome and no one will be turned away. During our Open Registration Event(s), we simply categories potential members into groups that will allow us to see who needs more help/training than others. No previous dance training required.
- What fees are associated with being a member of the team? All members of the team pay a tuition of $100 a month. This tuition covers all training classes, rehearsal time, performance & exposure opportunities, and a variety of other benefits.
- Will uniforms cost extra? There are once-a-semester performance fees ranging from $150-300 that will cover uniform, participation, and travel costs associated with performing; however, we always provide fundraising opportunities to help with these fees. Fundraisers can also be utilized to pay tuition fees.
