HOW IT WORKS
DFT’s dance season begins in early September and ends with 2 performances at the end of March or beginning of April. The season consists of approx. 25 Sundays of dance, working around holidays. Dance Force Toronto will have different level-based teams: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced (teams may be combined). When enrolling, all dancers will be required to fill out a form to outline their dance experience so that they can be placed on an appropriate team, based on their skill level. Where applicable, a placement day may be held. For more information on each level, please visit our Teams page.
During the season, team rehearsals will take place on Sundays between 11:00am and 3:30pm (exact time depends on team placement) and are an hour and a half in length. Rehearsals between September and December will focus on technique and choreographing Full Team dances. Sunday team rehearsals will generally focus on jazz and contemporary, but dancers have the option to join or audition for the company pieces being offered that year (such as ballet, improv, and hip hop). These company pieces require extra rehearsals on top of the hour and a half of Sunday rehearsal.
