Competition Prep

Competition Prep is the perfect next step for young dancers who dream of joining one of our competition teams in the future! Designed for motivated 4–5 year olds, this class introduces dancers to the expectations of a company-style classroom while building confidence, focus, and a love of performing.

Students will spend more time developing age-appropriate jazz technique, musicality, flexibility, coordination, and performance quality. They will also begin learning how to quickly retain choreography, work as part of a team, and develop the classroom skills needed for future competition auditions.

Competition Prep dancers will perform one piece in both the Winter & Spring Mini Gemstone Recitals.

This class can only be taken in addition to one of our Mini Gemstones 4/5 classes.
