Debunking Common Assumptions About Competitive Dance

Assumption #1: I will need to buy a new costume and learn a new dance every week just like Dance

Totally not true! Our dancers learn all of their choreography in August/September and get the chance to rehearse and perfect their dances all season long. A costume fee is charged when the costume begins being made for each dance, and when it is complete your dancer has a stunning custom costume that they get to wear for the whole season.

Assumption #2: Competitive Dance is a huge financial commitment

Like participating in any sport at a high level, there are a variety of financial commitments that come along with competitive dance. For our team, the fees include choreography, rehearsals, costumes, and competition/convention fees.

The financial commitment of each of these items is directly tied to the number of dances each dancer is in, and greatly fluctuates from member to member.

Assumption #3: Every year on The Club is exactly the same

We ask our dancers to grow and try new things, and we hold ourselves to the same standard! We strive to make every year on Move the Club a different experience. This year we are so excited to change things up and make our competition selection a collaborative effort with all families on Move the Club, as well as offer more opportunities for our oldest dancers with a guaranteed specialty piece (solo, duo, trio, or small group) for all of E Team!

The Club FAQs

  • Yes! Anyone interested in pursuing competitive dance is welcome to audition.

  • Dancer's audition in the age group based on their age as of January 1st 2025. Each audition will consist of a warm up, jazz technique across the floor, and a center combination. Our Team Director and Studio Owner will be observing the auditions.

  • We don't have required set of skills that dancers must have to be on the team (ie: tumbling, multiple pirouettes, switch leap, etc.) We just ask that dancers are prepared to show off their strengths, and come ready to dance!

    Our team has a strong collective work ethic, but we also create space for individual expression of dance as an art form. We pride ourselves on being the top competitive team in Arvada, while also emphasizing a focus on community, love and support within our team.
