First Day Musts!
To ensure your dancer is ready to kick off the season, here’s what you need for the first day of class:
Take a First Day Picture:
We’ll have our HDA backdrop set up for fun first day of dance photos. Be sure to take a picture, share it online, and tag us @hudsondanceacademy. We love seeing our dancers excited for their first class!
Get Prepared:
Water Bottle: Stay hydrated during class!
Correct Dance Attire: Make sure your dancer is in the correct dance clothes and shoes for the class.
Name in Shoes: Label all of your dancer’s shoes with their name to avoid mix-ups.
Bathroom: Ensure your dancer has used the bathroom before class to minimize distractions.
Hair Up: Keep hair neatly pulled up for class (a bun or ponytail works great!).
Smile and Dance!:
It's time to dance, have fun, and make memories!

Our fabulous faculty will also be teaching during the exciting week filled with technique and classes. We have different levels from beginner, intermediate, to advance level rooms with convention style classes.
This is required for all our SZN 24 competition line members.
Competitive Dancers will spend the week taking classes in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, modern, and contemporary.
Warm up exercises to facilitate increased flexibility, strength & agility.
Students will learn various progressions across the floor and multiple combinations intended to improve their technical skill level.
Dancers will focus on jumps, kicks, leaps and turns in an effort to elevate each individual dancer’s technical skill level.
Utilizing rhythmic exercises and combinations, dancers will work to refine and develop a wider tap vocabulary and base. The genre of TAP is reliant upon a foundation of building blocks. You must first master A to progress to B, C, D etc. A strong understanding in tap is instrumental in teaching dancers how to hear and count music which translates to their lyrical and contemporary movement quality and style.
Intensive is required for all incoming 2025-26 Dancers
