COMPETITIONS

Competitive dancing is not as scary as it seems. Ballroom competitions are exhilarating events. The experience dancers have create memories that last a lifetime. All level dancers can compete. All ages too! Yes ALL ages and levels. From novice to pro from 8 to 80 (or more) anyone is welcome in the world of ballroom and that’s part of the beauty! There are MANY competitions nationally (and internationally) each week. The great thing is Ballroom is ALWAYS in season. This provides fun flexibility for dancers to pick and choose when and where and the frequency of competitions. It can be a lot to think about at first. But we take it one step at a time. The door is completely open to you…step in.

(Can you do this? Yes, yes you can!)
