Question: How much of a time commitment is Dhamaka (in hours per week)? - Anonymous
The time commitment is variable based on the time of year (i.e. the hours per week is very different depending on whether there is no upcoming performance vs. competition next week). Expect 8 - 12 hours a week of dancing on average, with less or more depending on the time of year. Know that the team understands school is a priority and that we can be flexible based on your workload during certain times of year -- if you have a big upcoming test, for example, we can work around it as long as you let us know early enough.
