Competitive Programs

Mini/Youth

Join us this season for Next Steps Mini/Youth competition team! This program provides committed young dancers with structured training, performance opportunities, and early competitive experience in a supportive environment! Dancers do not need to participate in every routine to be a member of the Mini/Youth Competitive Program! Those on the Mini/Youth Team will compete at three of our five seasonal competitions: Beyond The Stars, Energy, and Precision Arts. If you are interested, email info@nextstepdancestudios.com 

teen/jr

For dancers aged 10 and above, our Junior/Teen Competitive Company is a program designed for passionate dancers who are ready to take their skills to the next level. Dancers commit to a higher level of technique, performance, and teamwork as they train and compete throughout the season. Dancers have a minimum requirement of two competitive routines in addition to one weekly specialty class! Placement is by audition only - auditions to be held yearly in August. If you are interested, email info@nextstepdancestudios.com
