Our Competition Team

Here at Aspire Dance Studio, we strive to share our passion for dance with our students. Our competition team is focused on growth through the experience of attending and participating in dance competitions, where our dancers become more confident on stage and enjoy watching dancers perform from other studios in the area. Dancers ages 8 and up are encouraged to consider joining our team!

We offer 2 competition teams:

• Starlites: This team is for younger competitors to begin experiencing the competition dance world. Dancers take a focused choreography class as well as a class to focus on technique.

• Stars: This team is for more experienced competitors who are interested in diving deeper into the competition dance world and may be interested in taking multiple routines to competition. Dancers are required to take one group choreography class as well as a technique focused class, with room to add additional routines.

Expectations for Competition Team Dancers:

• Class Requirements: All Competition Team dancers are required to take one technique-based class (recommended by faculty) and one choreography class. After first year competing, additional routines can be added at the discretion of dancer and faculty - such as solos, duos, trios, etc.

• Competition Requirements: Dancers attend 2-3 competitions per season, taking place in the Spring (April/May). Competitions are typically within a driving distance of 1 hour of the studio so extensive travel is not required. Competitions are decided early in season so all families are aware of when competitions will be taking place.

• Attitude: Competition dancers are focused in their classes on improving their technique and working on choreography. Our goal is to help dancers grow on their own dance path, and that requires participation from both the teacher and the dancer!
