E. TX Academy will not search for music for these routines. The Instructor has the right to reject the song; until they fill that the right song has been picked for the student. There are many factors to picking the right song for the student. Examples are songs that are not over used, the right fit for the Instructor and the student, appropriate language and content, etc. Anytime the Instructor has to work on music selection to help the student it will be done in the solo time allotted. It is advised that the student pick the song and have it approved long before the first class. During the solo class if the song is not picked or the Instructor is not working on the music then the student will work on combinations and tricks until the song is ready for a routine.

Curriculum:
Students will learn a 1.5 to 2 min. routine by February in order to perform at the first competition. After the first competition the routine will be critiqued and re-evaluated by the instructor based on how the student performed. The student will begin working on perfecting, learning new skills and sometimes removing the old ones as the student progresses. This will continue through to the end of the Term. Students wishing to learn more than one routine in a fall session will have to sign up for another class.
