What is Performance/Competition Troupe? 

This is a group of dedicated dancers who take classes in multiple styles and are interested in competitions and additional performance opportunities.  This group learns multiple dances (Hip Hop, Contemporary & Jazz) throughout the year that they take to local competitions as well as perform in local community events. These dancers also get the option to attend out of state dance conventions to help further their training. They take technique classes in  Hip Hop, Modern, Jazz, Ballet and strengthening and conditioning that will help with all styles of dance.
