Collaborates
Our Competitive dance team
Who are the Collaborates?
The Collaborates are Studio Sole Dance’s competitive company — a dedicated group of dancers selected through auditions each year. These dancers train at an advanced level, represent our studio at regional competitions and conventions, and serve as leaders both in and out of the classroom. Through solos, duos and trios, and group routines, they develop confidence, discipline, and a deep love for performing as part of a team.
Solos
Dancers showcase their individuality, artistry, and personal growth in custom-choreographed routines.
Duos & Trios
Smaller group pieces that build teamwork, connection, and stage presence.
Group Dances
Large ensemble routines that highlight unity, precision, and collaborative performance.
Parent & Travel Expectations
What to Know Before You Commit
Collaborate dancers attend multiple competitions and conventions throughout the season, often requiring weekend travel and advance planning. Parents are expected to stay informed, meet costume and fee deadlines, and ensure dancers are present and prepared for all scheduled events. This commitment plays a key role in the success of the team.
This program requires time, travel, teamwork, planning, and full commitment.
