Competition Teams

For interested students, Encore Dance Academy offers competitive dance teams. Typically, these teams are geared towards the more serious dancer.

We have two options for competitive teams - classic and elite. The purpose of these teams is to increase the dancers' performance abilities, encourage growth and responsibility, promote teamwork, and have fun!

• Our classic dance teams are for ages 7-18 and require less of a time commitment. These teams will have class once a week and attend 3-4 competitions within the state. Classic teams are required to attend an in-house workshop.

• Our elite dance teams are for ages 10-18 and require a slightly higher level of commitment. These teams will have class once a week and also be required to take a ballet class and strength/conditioning class at least once a week. They will attend 5 to 6 competitions in the Midwest as well as Nationals. Elite teams are required to attend an in-house workshop as well as a dance convention typically held in the Chicago area.
