Competitive Program

All competitive registration should be done in person so that we can discuss the appropriate classes for your dancer's level. Some classes do have requirements that are not shown in our online system. If you are unable to attend an in person registration session and would like to set up a private meeting, please end us an email. Class placement is determined by instructors and based on many factors including, but not limited to, age, level of ability, experience, and previous training. Dancers returning from previous years will also have their commitment level and attendance taken into account.

​

Please note: returning dancers are ONLY guaranteed placement in our competitive program during the first two weeks of registration. Register early to avoid disappointment.
