Competition & Performance

Showcase your talent on stage through our competition team and annual recitals.

Competition Team

Spotlight's Competition Company is open to dancers ages 4 and up. Dancers must audition for the competition company and be selected by the director. Auditions are held in the spring for the following season.

Competition Company dancers are required to take a minimum of 3 classes per week, which includes a technique class. Competition Company dancers are expected to maintain a professional attitude and work ethic, both in and out of the studio.

Competition Company dancers are required to attend all rehearsals, competitions, and performances. If a dancer is unable to attend a rehearsal or competition, they must notify the director as soon as possible.

Competition Company dancers are expected to be role models for the recreational dancers and represent Spotlight Dance in a positive manner at all times.
