Competition Classes

Many of our students take advantage of opportunities to enter dance competitions, performing special choreography either as soloists or as members of duets, trios, small groups or competition classes. We require these students to be enrolled in at least three class hours per week including one ballet class. We limit our involvement as a studio to only those competitions which we believe offer a sufficient challenge. When viewed in the proper perspective by the students and their parents, participating in competitions is an additional means of enhancing the technique and performing skills acquired in the class room. It is not merely to accumulate medals, trophies and titles. Competitions become a valuable adjunct to a young person's education in dance as well as in life. We are extremely proud of the reputation our studio has attained at both regional and national levels.
