Competition Team
Looking for an Extra Challenge?
The Esteem Competition Team is designed for the dedicated dancer. We look for dancers who are enthusiastic in advancing their skills, bonding with teammates, learning sportsmanship and building excellent athleticism in a positive and supportive environment! We also have a fantastic group of parents, we are not the studio for you if you like dance drama:) We leave the drama to our musical theater performances!
We take it upon ourselves to nurture the talent that walks through our doors, and are dedicated to each of our dancers on a personal level. We regulate our class and team sizes to allow for student-centered learning, which in turn accelerates their skills.
Our competition dancers attend 1-2 conventions during the season and attend 3-4 regional competitions January-May. We attend nationals annually every June in Wisconsin Dells.
***Competition clinics for the 2025/2026 season begin July 7th. Final auditions begin the week of July 28th.
