COMPETITIVE

Join our award-winning team

  • Lasting friendships for students and parents.

  • Students build great amounts of self-confidence, hard work, determination, and self-respect.

  • Opportunities to work with well noted figures in the dance industry.

  • Dance for us is not just an activity, it is a way of life.

Boost your confidence. Challenge yourself to grow. Build friendships that last a lifetime on our competitive dance team.

These elegant dancers put many hours into technique classes, work hard to pick up choreography very quickly, are extremely versatile, and perform on the stages of Ontario's most elite dance competitions.

Dancers on our competitive team thrive on being challenged and pushed to reach their maximum potential.

All competitive dancers must audition for a spot on our elite team every spring. We offer both Pre­ Competitive (less than 6 hours a week commitment) and Competitive (7+ hours per week commitment).

Is your dancer ready to take on this challenge? Please talk to the staff in the office for more information, and find out if your dancer is ready to join our hard-working team!

The Pre-Competitive team travels to three competitions. Competitions selected for our Pre-Comp team happen within a two hour drive. They also perform at our Competitive Showcase in February.

The Competitive Company team travels to five regional competitions, plus one exclusively for solos between February and May each season. They also perform in our Competitive Company Showcase which happens every year before our competitive season begins.

AUDITION PROCESS

Every year we hold audition nights open to dancers ages 6-17. Our experienced Faculty instruct classes by age and level to get a sense of where the right placement for all dancers will be. The audition classes are taught like any normal class including a warm-up, floor work and a short combination. From there, our staff will assess the dancers and place them in the correct level, and parents will then be contacted with the placement we feel is best for their child!

2024/25 AUDITIONS NOW CLOSED
