COMPETITIVE CLASSES
Our competitive program provides comprehensive and dynamic training with a strong focus on technique, performance, and teamwork. It’s designed for students seeking a more challenging environment or those preparing for future growth in the performing arts.
Led by our experienced instructors, the program incorporates elements from the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (CDTA), Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), and Acrobatic Arts syllabi. Dancers benefit from innovative instruction, engaging choreography, and the opportunity to pursue technical exams.
Competitive students attend weekly classes, participate in three local competitions, and perform in our year-end recital in June. They may also be eligible for solos, duos, or trios in the dance styles they are enrolled in. In addition, dancers can join our studio’s Production—a large-scale musical theatre number featuring current students, teachers, and alumni.
An attendance policy is in effect for our competitive program. Please see our Info & FAQ page for more information.
The following will be taken into consideration when placing students in competitive classes:
- Dedication in attending classes and competitions
- Dedication in dressing appropriately for dance class
- Physical and mental ability of the student to progress in the grade (Some students grow really fast and might need an extra year in a certain discipline, and some students need an extra year to develop mentally and socially to progress in the grades)

| Level 3 | 10 - 12 years old |
