Competitive Dance Team (Ages 5-18)

The competitive division is an opportunity for students wishing to pursue dance in a serious manner to explore various genres of dance. Our program not only provides top-quality dance instruction, but also creates an environment where students can develop self-esteem, self-discipline, self-confidence, the ability to work with others and the ability to follow directions. The Competitive Dance Team competes throughout Ontario and performs in our annual recital at year-end. 

Along with the prestige and highly accelerated learning that is part of being a member of our Competitive Dance Team, there are numerous responsibilities that both parents and dancers should consider:

  • Competitive students must have excellent attendance and punctuality
  • Competitive students must participate in all competitions
  • Competitive students must be able to participate in community events
  • Competitive students must maintain a high degree of self-discipline and motivation as being a member of the Competitive Team is a privilege
  • Competitive students must attend at least 1 summer intensive camp at the studio (if pursuing solos/duets/trios), as well as our Competitive Intensive Week in August

We are proud to offer SIX different levels of our Competitive Team for our 2024-25 season. Dancers will be placed into each team at the discretion of the FDC staff. 

Dancers will be placed into each team at the discretion of the FDC Staff.
