Competitive Division at Elite Studios
The competition program at Elite Studios is an exclusive group of dancers selected by Elite Studios Directors and staff to train at the highest level. Dancers who wish to participate in the competitive division must be accepted into the program. Our Competitive Division is made up of 3 companies: The Core, The Collective, and Petite Elites. Companies are divided up into individual companies based primarily on age and are enrolled in a set curriculum of classes designed to develop the most technical, versatile, and strong dancers.
The Core & Collective classes are by audition only and classes are not open to the general studio population. The 2 companies exist to offer to different paths for our competitive dancers. The Collective Company is a company designed for dancers who wish to participate in competition dance, but at a lesser time commitment. The Core Company is a company designed for dancers who wish to pursue dance at the highest level of training. The commitment level for The Core Company is vast. It is expected that The Core not participate in activities outside of dance as the obligation is time-consuming, but extremely rewarding. Both The Core & Collective Companies participate in our charity concert each winter, The Benefit, as well as 5 – 7 regional convention and competitions (The Core) and 2 – 3 regional convention and competitions (The Collective), along with many other activities. Dancers entering the 2nd – 12th grade may audition for The Core or The Collective.
For our dancers in Kindergarten – 1st grade, we have our Petite Elite Company! Petite Elites is an invitation only company for our youngest dancers to begin their competitive dance journey! Dancers in Kindergarten – 1st grade have the opportunity to be evaluated for our invitation-only Petite Elite company for our youngest level of competition dance!
