Our Competitive Team Objectives

At WCSOPA, we work very hard to ensure competing is a character building and memorable experience that our dancers will take with them for the rest of their lives. Our expectation is that they will work hard, learn team building and work ethic skills, perform to the very best of their ability, leave competitions with a positive outcome and have a great time in the process!

Technical Training Program

Our technical training program is mandatory for all competitive dancers. Included in the program is an intense boot camp to push their balance, coordination, cardio strength and endurance, core strength and agility and of course flexibility. Training also includes classes in Ballet and Jazz technique. No choreography will be done in these classes though students will be challenged mentally as well with short combinations both at the barre, center and down the floor.

Optional Training Classes Available

Stretch and Core - Students will focus on flexibility while building their core stability.

Demi Pointe/ Pointe - Students will focus on balance, posture and ankle strengthening/flexibility in preparation for point shoes. Once students are approved by the Director they will learn technique en pointe.

Competitive Team Etiquette:

Dancers are expected to arrive on time for all classes and competitions. They are expected to stay with their team until after their performance and attend award ceremonies for each routine they have competed in. If a dancer is absent from the award ceremonies they will not receive their awards.
