Will CCTC conflict with my home studio?No! All rehearsals, performances, etc. with your home studio are excused absences from CCTC rehearsals and events! In the event that a show conflicts with your studio we have absence request forms. |
I'm a teenager, can I just be a part of CCTC?No. All youth company members are required to be enrolled at a local studio in a tap class. We do not regulate where. We wish to suplement training received at the studio, not replace it! |

Do I have to have expensive tap shoes?While we do recommend that members have professional level tap shoes, we do not require it. We do believe, however, that you get better sound and tonal quality out of a higher end shoe. |
