Our performance line classes build on the curriculum from our recreational classes with increased class time. The increased class time allows instructors to spend additional time introducing and refining age-appropriate skills. Students are trained in technique at the barre and center floor and have an increased opportunity to practice across-the-floor skills. Combinations with more complex rhythms and weight transitions are presented and practiced while encouraging artistic exploration.
Performance Lines perform in our Winter Holiday Show and Annual Spring Recital, plus one competition at the recreational level. No audition is required.

Competition dance is a training tool for young dancers with numerous performance opportunities. These classes are for dancers who LOVE TO DANCE and want to commit more to dance. Through competition, dancers are made aware of details of their performance that could use additional work or training. This input is invaluable for the more serious dancer and often reinforces what they learn from their dance instructors.
Competition Teams dancers perform in our annual Holiday Show, Spring Recital, and several regional competitions and nationals. Auditions are required.
