Joining competitive dance requires approval from Miss Ali, why is this?

Competitive dance requires a larger commitment from the students and families. Competitive dancers need to attend more classes and practice regularly at home. The expectations of class, teamwork and performance are larger.

We want to invest in our competitive students long term, since dance is a skill developed through progressive training, we want to ensure we can support competitive dancers to see their skills advance and hard work pay off. Like any team sport, in order to succeed, it requires team attendance and continual effort from each member.

How many competitions do we do?

Our studio participates in 3-4 different festivals around Alberta. We try to stick within a 2hour travel limit, being mindful of our families life outside of the studio. We want to give our students taste of the competitive world, while maintaining our small town balanced lifestyle.

We often consider ourselves the underdogs but love being a part of the performance scene and seeing other dancers perform.
