Competition Dance

Competition Dance is for Intermediate and Advance Dancers who want to perform more!

Benefits to build on!

We at Dance–N–Magic are dedicated to keeping healthy competition teams FUN, ALL INCLUSIVE, EDUCATIONAL, and CONFIDENCE BUILDING!

• Learn Teamwork and make friends!
• Be surrounded by committed dancers who love to learn, perform, and share your passion!
• Everyone is a star on the team!
• Learn good sportsmanship!
• Education-based lesson plans!
• Learn to set and achieve goals!

Intermediate and Advance Dance Students who feel more challenged are more likely to stay with dance as a lifelong sport!

We will perform at 2 regional competitions, and other community events throughout the year. We only attend adjudicated competitions (everyone receives an award based on points.) Having teams with limited practice hours and limited competitions help dramatically reduce stress and fees for parents and students. We will also have the opportunity to attend master classes and conventions. Taking classes from Master Instructors gives the students an opportunity to learn in a different, fast-paced environment; and to learn new styles of teaching.

You can choose to compete a solo, duet, trio, or join a Competition Dance Team! Solos, Duets, and Trios offer individual instructor attention and custom choreography.

Team Placement

You get placed on the Team when you register for that class. Students who enroll must be motivated, eager to learn, committed, and ready to show off their skills. Students are required to have a positive attitude and commit to the classes and the performances.

Other recommended Dance Classes:

Summer Dance Camps are highly recommended to keep up on technique over the summer. If students choose to be in both recreational and competition classes, they will receive a discount. Ballet will will improve strength and flexibility, is highly recommended, and you will receive a discount on your tuition. Enjoy these wonderful and fulfilling styles as you build technique.

A note from Anna: Promoting Healthy Competition is very important to me. I, myself competed in an adult group for many years, as well as my young daughter. Healthy Competition to me means that the students feel they are growing and learning in an embracing environment where they feel like they can be themselves and strive to do their best! It also means that dance students live a balanced life with time for school, family, and other activities as well. Thank you for considering Dance–N–Magic!
