DARE TO BE ELITE
Elite’s Competition Team consists of dancers ages 5-18. We compete in all styles in the form of Productions, large groups, small groups, trios, duets, and solos! Attending 4 to 5 competitions in state, along with Conventions & Nationals, Elite provides the opportunity for those wishing to further their dance experience.
The Competition Team allows dancers to be apart of a team, improve their dancing abilities, and to make life long friends! It’s more than just a team, it’s a family.
