Solo Dance Entry form
All students are taking part in the GROUP/ TEAM DANCE - which is a piece choreographed by the teacher and taught in class. There is no entry fee for this.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in the SOLO DANCE CATEGORY. This is open to both Modern & Ballet students.
How does it work ?
Students are given a number on the day and there are usual 8-10 dancers on the dance floor at that same time dancing to the music. After all the competitors have danced once, the judges recall some numbers to dance again. Eventually the judges will have narrowed down their selection and there will be trophies for the final top 7.
Junior 1 (Junior & Senior Infants)
We always encourage our Junior Level 1 dancers to treat this as a game of musical statues. The idea is just to encourage the students to express and enjoy themselves through dance, showing off their dance moves to a piece of music. We usually play a little bit of the song and stop it just like in a game.
SOLO Competition songs:
Junior Level 1 solo
Can’t stop the feeling (Trolls; Justin Timberlake)
Start @ 0.58-1.42
Junior 2 (1st - 3rd class Students)
At this age, some children will make up and memorise their own routine while others will just make it up on the spot - again there is no right or wrong way to do this : it’s just about expressing yourself through dance.
Junior 2 solo
Apple : Charlie XCX
Start @ 0.10-1.02
Intermediate students (4th -6th class Students)
Their solo song is
Hot to go (Chapelle Roan)

This year intermediate students also have the option to enter a new category :
DUO/TRIO (a group of 2 or 3 dancers)
These children will make up a routine to
I Can do it with a broken heart -Taylor Swift

This routine needs to be pre-learnt and cannot be improvised on the day. There will be awards for 1-5th Place in this category.
