Competition Team
Our competitive dance program is designed for dancers seeking the highest level of dance training. Dancers are required to take weekly recreational dance classes in addition to rehearsing their competitive choreography. RDP Team dancers will attend 3 local regional competitions between the months March-June, receiving critiques from world renowned judges. Dancers must audition in order to join our competition team. Email us for an information packet with more details and pricing.
Auditions for our 2024-2025 season are on June 26, 2024 from 1:00-4:00PM.
Ages 6+
Dancers with the slightest interest are encouraged to audition!
Additional Information
After auditions take place on the 26th, our team will discuss dancer placement. You will hear from us via email within two weeks. Your follow-up email will include your audition results, a tentative summer rehearsal schedule should you make the team, team and group placements, solo/duo/trio invitation and a team contract.
Choreography matters. We are committed to providing the best, award-winning choreography for our dancers and are proud of every dance we put on stage. In order to properly prepare each routine, we will begin choreography for our competition team in the SUMMER of 2024. The goal is to finish our routines, however not every routine will be complete by the fall. Additional rehearsals will take place on weekday evenings as well as on Saturdays. Rehearsal schedules will be out 1 month in advance.
Rehearsals will take place during July, August, and the beginning of September. There will not be a summer rehearsal schedule available until after competition team auditions. We will be making the schedule work for YOU so PLEASE let us know your availability ASAP by filling out this form.
Why Join The Competition Team?
1. Dance Friends Are The BEST Friends
Our competition team fosters lifelong friendships and community. We pride ourselves on our team atmosphere and camaraderie. Being a united TEAM is always our biggest success.
2. Improve Your Skills and Technique
Dancing competitively provides incentive to work hard in class and rehearsals. Going out on a stage and performing in front of an audience and judges motivates dancers to always give their all in class and in rehearsals. The amount of training required for competition team dancers allows them to grow in their skills and in their technique. Dancing competitively also strengthens dancers performance skills.
3. Learn Life Lessons Beyond The Studio
Not only are competitive dancers physically and mentally strong, but they also develop skills that will help them outside of the studio in their personal lives as well. Dancers learn discipline, work ethic, time management, how to receive constructive criticism, team work, goal setting, and learning how to win and lose gracefully.
4. It's FUN!
Imagine spending an entire weekend doing what you're passionate about with your best friends. The memories made are priceless. Competition provides opportunity for team bonding, watching performances from other dance studios, engaging in exciting awards ceremonies and meeting new people who share the same passion for dance.
5. Build Confidence
Being on the competition team requires dancers to get on stage and perform in front of crowds. This pushes dancers to get out of their comfort zones, both in the studio and outside of the studio. The encouragement from your teammates as well as your instructors helps dancers realize that they are capable of more than they even thought possible. We are here to help every dancer discover their full potential.
