Competitive Dance

What to Expect

Joining our competitive dance team is like joining a family, and there are certain expectations that come along with this wonderful opportunity. ALL competitive dancers are expected to be in class regularly, arrive on time and prepared, practice at home, attend additional rehearsals as needed, and maintain a positive attitude while at the studio or studio events.

Attendance for competitive dancers is imperative. Unlike other team sports, there is no one to take a dancer’s spot, so the entire team depends on each and every dancer.

Fees and Other Expenses: Competitive dance is naturally more of a financial commitment, but we’re committed to keeping costs as low as possible. Aside from the dance class fees, dancers are responsible for their costume (budget roughly $150 per class), competition fees (budget $200 per class, which will cover two group competitions), and studio wear (dancers must wear a studio jacket or hoodie to competitions). Dancers must have their own shoes for class, and performance shoes will be determined later in the year (costs will be kept as low as possible if shoes need to be purchased).

Dance class fees (and all other expenses listed above) for solos, duets, and trios vary from the approximate amounts above. Please contact the studio at info@omnesartscircle.ca if you’re interested in any competitive opportunity that is not listed below.
