Concord
Dance Academy’s Competition Team is made up of over 100 dancers from
over 40 New Hampshire cities and towns. The Competition Team is
comprised of many dancers ranging in ages 6-18. They perform at
seven regional dance competitions and at least one national dance
competition throughout the year. The team is chosen from an
extensive audition process. Dancers are selected for the competition
team because of their technical and artistic abilities, their
commitment and desire to learn, their positive attitude and
excellent attendance in class. The dancers compete in tap, jazz,
ballet, lyrical, open and musical theatre in solos through large
groups in each age range.
The Competition Team functions as both a performance group and a
competitive team. Students on the Competition Team have learned the
value of community service through performing at nursing homes and
other community events in the area. The students have participated
in a number of fundraisers for the Concord City Auditorium as well
as help raise money for local food kitchens. The dancers learn the
importance of teamwork, dedication and commitment that is needed to
achieve their goals.
Through competition, our dancers are exposed to several different
teaching styles, new choreography and the chance to travel and
perform in many different venues. Members of our competition team
have developed great work ethic and time management skills. These
dancers become role models to each other and because of that they
routinely grow and develop both artistically and academically.
