Thank you to all who auditioned for JLED. If your name is not on the list, do not be discouraged from your dreams....keep working towards your goals!
Jill Listi Elite Dancers was created several years ago in an effort to fulfill the desire of students to travel, compete and explore the world of dance outside of the studio. Our company represents Jill Listi Dance Studio at regional and national conventions and competitions. The company attends L.A. Dance Magic, West Coast Dance Explosion and Jump Conventions, along with Odyssey and Showstoppers competitions. Members are selected from our studio based on talent, work ethic, and dedication to dance. The objective is to provide dedicated students the opportunity to advance and perfect their talents while developing self-discipline and responsibility. This is accomplished through extra classes, conventions, intensive rehearsals and competition.
Company membership is by invitation and/or audition only. Members are required to attend extra classes, other than their regular dance curriculum. They must have at least 3 years of prior dance training and must be at least 7 years of age. All company members must be enrolled at Jill Listi Dance Studio. Please be informed that there are additional costs and fees associated with Elite, other than your regular dance fees. You are also responsible for your travel related fees as well as convention/competition fees.
