Built for dancers who are all in
Competition Dance for ages 5-18
Our competition teams are designed for dancers who are ready to take their dance training up a notch. At Ettingshausens, we believe high standards and positive culture go hand in hand. Our teachers challenge dancers while also ensuring they feel encouraged, supported and valued as individuals. We work closely with families to create a healthy, balanced competition experience.
Competition dance is a commitment, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Our focus is on helping dancers grow in skill, confidence, discipline and resilience.
Is competition right for your child?
Who it's for
Competition teams are best suited to dancers who:
✔ Love dancing and want to train more regularly
✔ Are motivated and open to feedback
✔ Enjoy being part of a team
✔ Have supportive families who value commitment
✔ Are ready for consistent weekly training
Experience levels vary by age group we guide families to the most appropriate pathway.
Training & Time Commitments
Competition dancers train for a set number of hours each week, depending on age and team placement.
This commitment supports skill development, team cohesion and performance readiness.
Families should be prepared for:
- Weekly scheduled classes and rehearsals
- Additional commitments during competition season
- Consistent attendance and punctuality
Clear expectations are communicated before placement so families can make informed decisions.
