Part-Time Competitive Program
Introducing our part-time competitive program, tailored to dancers aged 5 and above seeking a balanced approach to competition. Our mission is rooted in fostering inspiration and nurturing self-esteem within a supportive dance environment, where students are encouraged to embody discipline and camaraderie throughout their competitive endeavors.
Prior to the commencement of the season, dancers will partake in a competitive audition class for team placement.
Throughout the program, part-time competitive dancers will perform in four mandatory select competitions spanning from March to May, and in our Annual Competitive Showcase and the Year-End Recital. Complementing these events, participation in our mandatory 6-week summer class and/or competitive summer intensive is integral to honing skills and fostering artistic growth.
Admission prerequisites dictate a minimum of one to two years of recreational or competitive dance experience, coupled with a demonstrated proficiency in their chosen style.
Adhering to our standards of excellence, part-time competitive dancers dedicate between 1.5 to 5 hours weekly to training, with a focused emphasis on ballet technique, except in cases of specialization in hip hop. Through this structured approach, participants will embark on a transformative journey marked by personal achievement, artistic expression, and collective success within our esteemed dance community.
