Our Process

How We Build Competition Dancers

Our Competition Company follows a structured, intentional process designed to support long-term growth, consistency, and confident performance. Each stage plays a vital role in dancer development.

Audition & Placement

Every Competition Company dancer begins with an audition. This allows us to assess technical ability, readiness, coachability, and maturity to ensure proper placement by level—not just age.

✔ Evaluates technique, strength, and performance quality
✔ Ensures dancers are placed where they can succeed
✔ Creates balanced, supportive teams

Train with Intention

Training is focused, purposeful, and progressive. Dancers receive consistent instruction in technique, strength, flexibility, and performance quality to build strong foundations.

✔ Level-based technique classes
✔ Conditioning and injury-prevention focus
✔ Emphasis on clean execution and consistency

Rehearse & Refine

Choreography is developed with intention and reinforced through repetition. Dancers learn to refine details, take corrections, and perform with confidence as a team.

✔ Structured rehearsals
✔ Attention to detail and musicality
✔ Accountability and teamwork

Perform, Grow & EL3VATE

Competitions and performances are opportunities for growth—not just results. Dancers learn resilience, confidence, professionalism, and pride in their work.

✔ Regional competitions and performances
✔ Performance feedback and reflection
✔ Continuous growth throughout the season

The EL3VATE Standard

Our process ensures dancers are not only prepared to compete—but equipped with the skills, discipline, and mindset needed to grow both on and off the stage.
