Ready for the competitive side of dance? Our Teal Team competes a production with all teal team members and is broken up into smaller teams with specialty mixed groups, trios, duets, solos. Auditions are closed and will include a mandatory technique section for all ages. Dancers may then audition for specialty groups in different styles. Dancers should wear proper attire, hair pulled back neatly and bring needed shoes and a water bottle. Auditioning for our Teal Team does not secure spot and spots are given based off technique, performance qualities, attitude, behavior, attendance, and lastly age. If dancer is offered a spot on the Teal Team, they must attend the OPDC Intensive and there will be a mandatory Production Choreography Day on Saturday August 17th from 10am-3pm. Teal Team practices do include weekends with three mandatory regional competitions and one nationals. For someone looking for less commitment, consider auditioning for one of our Purple Teams. Technique requirements will be e-mailed/posted June 14th, dancers should attend the session for the age they will be as of January 1st 2025.

If a dancer is offered a spot on one of our Teal Team, weekly fall season requirements for their offered spot will be sent at that time.
To submit an application for one of our Recreational Purple Teams (Little Skittles, Mini Starbursts, Sweet Petites, or Junior Mints) please register online by selecting this class. Applications will be accepted until July 12th and then approval/waitlist e-mails will be sent out the following week. Applicants will have one week to accept their spot before their spot is given to the next dancer on the waitlist. Applications will be sorted by experience, technique level, previous class attendance, behavior/attitude, ages, and if they are a returning member from the previous year. OPDC decides all placements best for the dancer, placements can not be requested. Spots are limited! Submitted applications do not guarantee spots and once spots are filled a waitlist will be formed. All four teams are required for the fall season to take at minimum: one weekly ballet class for their age group and their weekly team rehearsal class. They are highly encouraged to take a weekly Acro class and/or another weekly technique class. No summer requirements. Applicants must have previously danced a season at OPDC or complete two summer session classes in 2024.
