Our competitive team, AIM Elites, holds optional tryouts annually in September.
Competition practices are held every Saturday, and every member must attend. The practice and dance timings will be determined based on the auditions.
Competition members must take at least three classes, two of which must be ballet & jazz.
In addition to the regular tuition fee, an additional payment of $55 per month is required, which is separate from competition entry, convention, or costume fees.
Every year, the AIM Elites attend two spring competitions and one dance convention. The dates for these events will be announced during the October 2026 parent meeting. Attendance at both competitions and convention is mandatory.
