Join Our Award-Winning Competitive Dance Companies.
Our Competitive Dance Companies (or teams) offer students the opportunity to compete in a variety of competitions throughout the Maritimes and beyond! With classes and choreography specifically designed for the competition stage, students learn to take their dance to the next level by honing their skills as individual dancers and as a team. Filled with team bonding, special performances/events, age-appropriate & elite level choreography, a warm and welcoming learning environment, feedback from professional competition judges, and an unforgettable level of excitement, this is a world all its own! Students compete on a team, but also have the opportunity to be chosen for Solo, Duo, Trio, and Small Group routines as well. Join this award-winning group of dancers and experience dance like never before!

Video Requirements:
Have fun with it! Relax, it’s a placement audition and there’s no need to stress. We understand that you will be shooting from home or sometimes in confined spaces. No problem! Do your best to capture your entire body, and try to use a well lit area if possible.
Wondering what to wear?
Activewear is perfect! Leggings, tshirts, shorts, and leotards all work.
Things we would like to see in your video:
We encourage you to add any other moves that you would like to demonstrate; Please note – if you don’t know what the terminology is, that’s fine! You don’t need to do the move):
Turns (pirouettes, chaînés, Inter/Adv dancers: fouetté, a la seconde)
Jumps/Leaps (jetés, arabesque, stag, Inter/Adv dancers: calypso)
Flexibility (splits on all sides and centre)
Hip Hop Combination (previous choreography you have done is fine)
Jazz and/or Lyrical and/or Contemporary Combination (previous choreography you have done is fine)
