Arctic Competitive Dream Teams
A.C.D.T.
It's essential to us to view the "competition" aspect of being part of a Competitive Dance Team as an opportunity for "performance." The results of competitions are purely subjective, and a dancer's progress should not be solely measured by their scores or achievements. Maintaining a positive outlook during competition experiences is crucial, and it’s important to take pride in the growth and development of each dancer. Team members should not see each other as competitors; instead, students are encouraged to focus on personal improvement and to strive to reach their full potential. Each dancer is unique, with their own strengths and weaknesses, contributing their individual talents to the team as a whole.
**Competition Season Overview**
Our competitive seasons runs August-May, with a minimum four hours of practice a week + a technique class. We also invite our comp dancers to join in the other classes if they are needing extra time to perfect whatever it is they are working on. We do run practice through the summer, but it is to keep up on their technique stretching and conditioning. But we do understand the importance of those family vacations, so we are more leanet during the summer then during the season. Our teams are formed by category of age of the dancer the beginning of August for the cut offline.
Each season, we plan to participate in 3-4 competitions that will allow each team to showcase their group performances. This season we are going to do a total of three competitions. Dancers will also have the option to perform solos or duets, and we will provide guidance to ensure they don’t take on more than they can handle, along with ensuring they learn the basics of technique and are preforming quality competitive level choreography.

If your dancer is not quite ready for the commitment of competitive dance, our Technique class is the perfect opportunity to explore! In this class, dancers will gain insight into what competitive dance involves while honing their skills. It's also a wonderful chance to connect with our current competitive dancers, as everyone in the Technique class trains together. This supportive environment will help your dancer feel comfortable and confident as they consider their options.
