When our teachers show our students that dance is more than just movements and technique, it's also about having fun and enjoying their time together. It gets noticed!
Prodigy Dance and Performing Arts Competitive Teams
We believe that your children’s love of dance deserves to be showcased to the dance world. Competition gives our students the opportunity to display the hard work and the talents that our Prodigy's possess.
The dancers for Prodigy’s competitive team will be selected from our regular stream of dancers and selection starts as early as age four.
We look at competition as a wonderful opportunity to showcase their achievements from their training. Competition is not only about winning it also helps to create lasting bonds and friendships with all the dancers working together in an event that is all about teamwork. It’s always heart warming to hear classmates cheering and encouraging other dancers to success from behind the curtains and in the audience.
Our main goal is to develop, strong talented dancers who are proud, confident performers. Competition continuously challenges the students to reach their full potential. Our dancers will learn more than just the art of dance, they will also learn life skills, self-esteem, commitment, teamwork, discipline, and respect.
Please Note: All competitive dancers must participate in all mandatory classes in order to eligible to compete.
