Solo or Duet w/Ally
Dancers signed up for the 2026-2027 Dance Season have the opportunity to do ONE extra dance (solo or duet). Company dancers will perform their solo/duet dance at the Spring Dance Recital in April while all other dancers will perform their solo/duet dances at the Winter Showcase Performance in January. Dancers need to decide on the type of dance they want to do (lyrical, hip hop, tap, poms, etc) and then decide what instructor they want to help them choreography the dance.

Participating in a solo and or duet dance is a great and very rewarding experience! But it does involve extra costs and commitment from both the dancers and their parents. The $35 due at the time of sign up is for the music fee and administrative costs. Dancers meet with their instructor for 2-3 private lessons to learn and clean a dance; private lessons with instructors are $40 per hr or $20 for 30 minutes. Private lesson fees are due at the end of each lesson with your instructor.

Dancers are expected to practice their solo/duet dance each week at home. If a dancer hasn't been practicing, ASOD has the option to cut any solo/duet dancer from the performance.
