Our recreational programs enhance rhythm skills, coordination, musicality, self-esteem and allow everyone to garner a love for the art of dance! All of our classes are taught by fully certified teachers. Students will have the opportunity to perform one routine per discipline at The Dance Element INC’s annual year-end recital held at the beautiful First Ontario Arts Centre Milton.
Our Part-Time Competitive Program is specially designed for dancers wishing to be part of the exciting competitive world of dance while being introduced to multiple disciplines, choreographers and to be part of a team without having to commit to full-time hours. Part-Time competitors are dancers who wish to train at a higher level of commitment but will not exceed a total of 6 hours per week with a minimum of 3 hours a week. Ballet is not mandatory for this program. Dancers try out for this program at the TDE Competitive Audition Dates. This program provides students with well-rounded dance training that consists of Jazz, Tap, Acro, and Stretch / Technique with the option of Hip Hop and Ballet. Part-Time company members will take part in 3 local competitions per year.
The dancers are placed into the teams according to technique level and age. Competitive dancers represent the studio at 3 – 5 different competitions throughout the year, as well as at many community events and all The Dance Element functions. Competitive dancers strive to achieve their goals, build confidence, and conduct themselves in a sportsman’s like manner at all times. The mandatory classes for this program are Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Acro and stretch/technique. Dancers try out for this award-winning team during one of The Dance Element INC’s Competitive Auditions Dates.
