Competition Team Program
A program for the more serious dancer that focuses on building strong technique, learning team camaraderie, and improving performance skills!
The Dance Arts Centre competitive team program consists of 12 performing teams, ages pre-k through high school, ranging from intermediate to advanced dancers.
If a dancer missed auditions, we do offer the option to have a private audition/evaluation. Please contact the front desk if this applies.
Benefits of a competitive team
Healthy body & mind
Dancers will improve their physical health and gain energy through exercise and movement. Dancers will improve their minds through positive encouragement
and accomplishments.
Age Appropriate Music & Costumes
We are committed to providing dancers with age-appropriate music, choreography and costumes. Our instructors take this into consideration when planning for the year.
Self-confidence
This is something all parents want for their kids. Through learning skills and
accomplishing goals throughout the year, dancers will have a sense of pride and
confidence, along with the ability to perform!
Building friendships
Dance friends are the best friends. The dancers will grow together and build
team camaraderie.
Technique & Dance Education
Our instructors are committed to building a strong foundation focused on
