Competition Teams
Is your child is looking for an accelerated dance experience with challenging technique classes, dazzling choreography, and multiple performance opportunities throughout the year? If so, we welcome dancers ages 5-18 to join our team of talented dancers!
Our Competition Teams are comprised of dancers interested in expanding their dance and performance education. Both provide a team experience that will enhance a dancer's technical abilities, provide them with competitive & community performance opportunities, connect them to innovative choreographers and experienced professional dancers through convention workshops.
Being on our dance team is a wonderful opportunity to develop technical dance skills while making great friends and building confidence. Our dance team students experience the joy of performing at various regional dance competition events in the area and working together with their team to learn and grow as dancers. This is a full school-year commitment, September through May, and requires regular attendance in classes, rehearsals & performance events.
We welcome new dancers into our competitive program each year. Participation in the classes listed in the bullet points of each age are the minimum requirements with the option to add more styles. Placement is not based solely upon age, it is based on ability and team dynamics. We spend a tremendous amount of time and effort designing each team and considering each dancer as an individual. If you are new to our studio or interested in learning how to be on our dance team please contact our office to schedule a meeting.
