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 technique. Not only will dancers learn dance skills and technique, but also professionalism and grace that will carry them through their dance journey!
