We try to choose the dances that will create the most diverse show
Different styles and levels Slide4
Music
Music must be appropriate!!

Cannot use a song that has been used within the last 3 years (if a senior can remember it)
If you’re not sure if a song has been used in the past, get in touch with Sam
Cillo
No more than 2 songs by the same artist
Song thread over the summer
Just because you write that you want a song doesn’t mean it’s yours
