Our Company Competitive dancers are some of the most well-rounded dancers. We perform in three required competitions per year with many additional and optional competitions available. We attend one required team dance convention. Competitive dance is an important aspect of dance training as it prepares dancers for more than just performance with others in their dance studio and their communities, but the competing with peers from a variety of areas and skill levels. Competition encourages dancers to push past their comfort zone and challenge themselves to soar to new heights.
Receiving trophies and medals is not our mission for our competitive dancers. Even if your dancer is not looking to dance professionally, the benefits of competitive dance are endless. Competitive dance teaches children how to be outgoing, builds self-confidence, and teaches a sense of teamwork. The friendships and relationships are also important reasons why competitive dance is a wonderful addition to your child's dance education, as the dancers and parents become more like family than a team.
Company Auditions for our Competition Team are coming soon!
We are excited to invite your dancer to the Company Auditions!

Dancers should have a strong background in ballet and jazz and possess discipline in the classroom. They should also have an encouraging and

We look for dancers striving to reach their full potential and who embrace and love the journey that goes along with it.
Parents and students should have a clear understanding of costs and commitments when considering becoming a part of our competitive company.
A clear understanding of company life and expectations let us focus on improving dance technique and making the most of the dance year.
