Welcome to TTD Dance Studio!!
Triple Threat Divas is a dance studio and dance team for girls and boys in kindergarten to the age seventeen. Triple Threat Divas Studio members demonstrate a desire to train intensively in order to compete at the highest level and achieve goals. Our program is dedicated to building well rounded athletes through an environment of positive energy, self-motivation and hard work. We believe that each individual’s success contributes to the success of the team. Our goal is to instill the life lesson of persistence, responsibility and dedication into each dancer that will benefit them both on and off the dance floor. We focus on perfecting competitive dance skills, with the understanding that confidence is at the core of every dancer ability to shine.

Attendance:
Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Students should be prompt and prepared for class. If your student missed class, please inform us as soon as possible. There will be no refunds for missed classes. Attendance will be tracked for all dancers o ensure that they are attending all of their requisite classes. Dancers are allowed to miss two unexcused absences per month; however, they cannot be in the same style. Any more than two classes missed must be made up within a month. Failure to attend requisite classes each month will result in loss extra dancers and possible removal from group dances and/or held from competitions or performances. Dancers are allowed to miss three unexcused rehearsals throughout the year. A dancer is not allowed to miss the practice before a competition. Most dances will have alternate(s) chosen. Alternates will learn and rehearse the dance with their teammates. They will be ready to perform the dance in case there is an illness, injury, or attendance issues with a dancer. This will give some dancers an opportunity to train with and become better dancers. For suggestions of which make up classes would best suit, please feel free to ask your teacher. Call ahead to schedule your make-up class.
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking."
