Competition

The Ballet & Performing Arts Centre has a reputation for exceptional performers and creating technically sound dancers. We are dedicated to nurturing a team as well as boosting individual dancers to their highest potential. All Competition team dancers must audition each year. Each dancer is required to sign a contract that binds them for the full season to ensure that all team members are dedicated and fully committed to the studio. The information below may answer a few questions concerning the competitive team.

When are auditions? Auditions will be held June1st 4:30-7:00 & June 2nd 5:30-7:00. If you are unable to attend, please contact us for a make up audition.

Is there anyway to prepare my dancer for auditions? Attending summer camp at BPAC! If you feel you that you would like to work on technique individually, you can schedule a private.

How many hours can we expect our dancer to be involved weekly? It varies depending on what level you make and how many dances you perform. Some of our dancers have one extra rehearsal per week and some have 3-4.

What is the Competition Registration Fee? The Competition Registration fee is to help off set the costs for props, additional items needed for the competition & teacher time & travel.

How many competitions do the dancers attend per year? Approximately 2-3 mandatory competitions. Younger groups may have 2.

What classes will my dancer take? Dancers participating in the competition teams are required to take ballet/pointe, jazz & tap & dance for at least 4 hours a week depending on level. Competition students are encouraged to take 2 ballet classes, pointe (if old enough). Nutcracker & Competition students must take two weeks at BPAC in the summer months. We can not make any exceptions to the above rules.
