Sole Discretion Dance Company
is a youth based competitive dance team consisting of
dancers from the ages of eleven to eighteen.
The company has a very busy season as they participate in
two conventions and five competitions throughout the months of October to
March. Every April West University Dance Centre hosts a studio wide
audition weekend.
Kelly Ann Vitacca is Sole Discretion’s Artistic
Director and flies in from Chicago to choreograph solos and group
pieces for the company. Loni Peterson is Sole Discretion’s
Executive Director and she runs all rehearsals, takes the dancers to
competitions, and handles all the administrative business for the company.
Being a member of Sole Discretion is a fun and memorable
experience. Even though most of the dancers do not attend the same
schools they still form close friendships that will last a lifetime.
DANCE COMPANY NEWS
June 2010
Sole Discretion had an amazing
2009-2010 season. The company attended three conventions, Tremaine,
JUMP, and new this year was NYCDA. At JUMP several
dancers were awarded MVP scholarships and had the opportunity to perform
with the amazing staff and demonstrators that weekend. In addition to
these conventions, Sole Discretion attended a total of six competitions.
The dancers took home several Platinum awards, as well as two cash prizes
for choreography.
New this year was the Sole Discretion Prep
class. This class is taught by Rehearsal Director, Melanie Kendall, and
is structured like a Convention class. The dancers learned a lot of new
choreography each week and were taught audition skills.
After a very successful year Sole Discretion
held their auditions at West University Dance Centre in May of 2009.
There was a large turnout, which included many of the Sole Discretion
Prep Class members. We are hoping to grow our company membership for the
2010-2011 season and all the directors are looking forward to another
great year!
