Interested in taking your dancing to the next level? Being on a dance team is a wonderful opportunity to develop technical dance skills, while making great friends and building confidence. Experience the joy of performing various dance competition events in the area and working together to learn and grow as dancers.
Pre-Competition Dancers are at the beginner/intermediate level at Kathy Blake Dance Studios and should train 2-4 hours per week. Additionally, this should be their first or second year competing. A student may move up to the competitive level at the discretion of the instructor.
Students and teachers will work together during the month of September in the pre-comp classes. The students will have time to adjust to the rigors of the program, and if after one month the teacher or student has any concerns regarding their ability to continue in the program they may withdraw.
Our deadline to register for one of our pre-comp classes is September 9th. If you have any questions regarding which pre-comp classes are best for your dancer, please call or email.
