Competitive Programs

Our Competitive Programs offer a balanced path for dancers seeking more challenge and performance opportunities than our recreational classes, without the full-time commitment of our Intensive Program. Designed for dedicated students who are ready to grow their technique, artistry, and stage presence, this program includes participation in competitions and additional recitals, while still allowing flexibility for other activities and interests.

Dancers in our Competitive stream perform in at least one competition per season. This program is ideal for families looking for a focused, team-oriented experience that nurtures commitment and confidence — without the time commitments of an intensive training schedule.

Micro-Mini Competitive Team

(Ages 5–8)

Ready to dip a toe into competitive dance? This one time a week program is the perfect intro to our competitive path! Dancers train in ballet, jazz, and tap.

They’ll compete one dance in 1 local competition and perform in 3 YAA recitals.

It’s a fun, supportive next step and pairs well with other recreational classes to add variety of dance styles!

Mini Competitive Team

(Ages 8–10) | By invitation or assessment

This program runs two evenings a week for 1.5 hours each night. Dancers take core classes in Ballet, Jazz, and Tap, plus a Dance Exploration class that introduces a variety of other styles, all within one well-rounded program.

They’ll compete two dances at 3 local competitions and perform in 3 YAA recitals.

Focused Competitive Teams

Ages 9+ | By audition

Styles: Hip Hop, Broadway, Acro

Interested in competing in just some select styles? Dancers may choose to focus on a single (or select few) supplementary styles, such as Hip Hop, Acro, or Broadway. These dancers are only required to take one supporting technique class, resulting in a lighter overall training schedule compared to those in our Intensive Program.
