About this Program
Competitive Level Dance Classes are grouped into Competition Companies, perfect for motivated and dedicated students who take several classes each week and participate in local, regional, and national competitions.
Additional Master Classes and Workshops are scheduled throughout the year. Students are placed into classes based on age and ability after an audition process.
Competition Company students may also have the opportunity to be part of Specialty groups, small groups, solo and semi-solo routines. Inquire at the front desk for more information and requirements.
It’s never too late to join our Competitive or Pre-Comp Dance companies. Call the office to talk to Ashley about the details!
