All Level 2 (6 & 7 year olds) classes in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Musical Theatre & Hip Hop will participate in 1 local dance competitions which take place in the spring. Please note that those who wish to compete in Musical Theatre must also take another dance class as technique is not entirely the focus in this class.

Please note that those who wish to compete in Muscial Theatre must also take another dance class as technique is note entirely the focus in this class. 

All dancers above these levels who enjoy and wish to perform and compete can join the appropriate JR, INT, SR or ADV performance/competitive classes. Students who join these groups must attend a minimum of 2 dance classes per week.

An exciting opportunity for students aged 9 and up to take their work out of the classroom and into the public venue. Our students have performed in Disneyland, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and all around British Columbia.

Performance / Competitive based classes (groups) will focus on enriched dance technique and performance skills for students who love to dance and would like their abilities to excel further and at a faster pace. These dancers must take at least 2 classes per week and will perform in at least 2 competitions as well as any other performances in which Stage 1 takes part (i.e. May Day, Kitsilano Showboat, etc.).

All students* who wish to join any Performance/Competitive group must attend a minimum of 1 week (5 classes) of Summer Camp in the discipline in which they wish to compete the following season. *Once a student has reached the age of 16, they may be allowed to join a competitive group without first attending Summer Camp IF they have a summer job which conflicts with the Dance Camp schedule (proof of summer employment may be required).

STUDENTS WHO WISH TO JOIN THE PERFORMANCE/COMPETITIVE GROUPS SHOULD BE:

committed to team effort

GROUP REQUIREMENTS

Dancers aged 9 and up who don't wish to join or want to attend only 1 class per week may join the JR to ADV Recreational classes. These classes will also be fun and teach technique and performance skills. Since these students attend as few as 1 class per week, they will enjoy a class at a more conservative pace. These classes will also participate in the annual production.

All other levels (preschool, level 1, beginners - all ages and adults) will also be performing in our annual Stage 1 performance.
