What Is Competition Dancing?
 We encourage any student who
wants to test his or her skill
in a larger arena to consider
competition Pro-Am dancing. Your
instructor can design a lesson
program that will get you ready
to compete against dancers at
your skill level at local and
regional Dancesport
Championships. It will give you
a chance to take your dancing to
levels beyond social dancing.
Competitions cover all styles of
dancing: International and
American style; latin and
ballroom, and even specialty
categories such as Theater Arts.
Contestant categories from
Newcomer to Championship assure
that you will be dancing with
other dancers at your level.
Your instructor has all the
details, and will help you
select the dances and categories
for your first "Comp."
If you want to join
our winning team, call anytime.
