WHY JOIN US?
The Part-Time Competitive Program at Canadian Dance Company is designed to give dancers who are passionate about the art of dance the opportunity to compete with a team. This program offers a fantastic experience for dancers ready to take the fun up a notch, as they compete in the “Part-Time” category at competitions. Part-Time families benefit from a high-calibre curriculum and faculty, along with a program that supports a manageable lifestyle balance.
We offer four Part-Time Teams, with dancers placed according to their age and ability: Pre-Mini, Pre-Junior, Pre-Intermediate, and Pre-Advanced. Dancers train with our competitive faculty in four or five required styles — jazz, ballet, tap, and hip hop (with contemporary added for Pre-Intermediate and Pre-Advanced dancers), for a total of 6 hours per week.
- Your jazz, tap, and hip hop routines (and contemporary for Pre-Intermediate and Pre-Advanced) will perform at Showcase and compete at three regional competitions.
- Ballet is taught as a technique-focused discipline and does not compete.
- All routines — jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and contemporary — will perform in the Year-End Shows.
Note: Acro is an optional training discipline and will not have a routine to perform.
REAL STORIES, REAL IMPACT
“During our 10 years at CDC, our daughter thrived in the part-time competitive program, which provided the perfect balance for our family. Thanks to the passionate teachers and supportive environment, she not only grew as a dancer but gained invaluable confidence, discipline, and lasting friendships that extend far beyond the studio.” – Irena slavner (Part time competitive parent)
“The part-time competitive program has been perfect for our family. It has provided a more intensive dance experience for my daughter while allowing her the time and flexibility to also pursue other interests and activities. She loves being part of a team and competing with her dance friends and we love the community of our team parents. It’s been a great experience for us and we’re all excited to return again next season.” –Sarah Byrne (Part time competitive parent)
