Why do we compete?
1. Build Connections Beyond Your Studio
The dance community extends far beyond Orangeville! Competing against other studios allows dancers to meet new people, form friendships, and network with others who share their passion.​
​
2. Unlock New Opportunities
Many dance competitions offer scholarships for conventions, workshops, and travel experiences. These opportunities help dancers grow, learn from top industry professionals, and expand their horizons.
​
3. Get Inspired & Grow
Performing on stage builds confidence, while watching other dancers sparks motivation and creativity. Being part of the competition team pushes dancers to challenge themselves, refine their skills, and reach new heights.
