What is SPT, Inc?
Shuffles Performance Team, Incorporated is our non-profit competitive traveling group!
It is open to ages 7-18 that have had at least 2 years of dance experience! It requires an audition and a 2-session commitment (Fall & Spring session).
Why is a non-profit so important?
Dance is expensive, so a non-profit opens up more opportunities for fundraisers, grants & donations! Some things we currently do that are an easy way to earn money to help with expenses:
-sell business ads for recital programs
-vendor & craft fair in December
- sell Ollie's Flower Cards
-sell beverages at the Iola Car Show
-currently in the works of getting a food & beverage booth at Lambeau Field!!!
Where does the team perform?
Venues & places change from year-to-year, but a few places we have performed at are:
-Wausau, Appleton, Green Bay, Madison, Chicago, Minneapolis dance competitions
-Taste of Shawano
-area nursing homes
-area fundraisers
-Six Flags, Great America
-option to dance at Disney World!!!
When are auditions?
Auditions will be held at the dance studio on Monday, June 10th from 6-8pm (possibly later depending on the amount of dancers that show up, possibly earlier for younger dancers).
Just because you audition, doesn't mean you have to accept the invitation to join the teams....it's always good to audition for EVERYTHING & then decide exactly what you would like to do. Audition experience will ALWAYS help your dancer out down the road!
If I have a large amount of dancers that can't make it, there will be an additional audition date added. The dancers from the first audition will be invited back so we can see how well everyone dances together.
We will have a parent/ dancer informational meeting scheduled at a later date to go over costs, potential competition dates, fundraisers, etc.
