Dans’Atout Dance Studio
More Than a Team — A Place to Grow
Whether your dancer is beginning their competitive journey or looking for a more intensive training experience, our programs are designed to help every child reach their full potential while continuing to love what they do.
At Dans’Atout, competitive dance is about far more than trophies. It is about passion, dedication, teamwork, confidence, discipline, and unforgettable memories along the way. Our competition dancers receive professional training in a supportive and inspiring environment where they are encouraged to challenge themselves, dream bigger, and grow both as dancers and individuals.
Our Competition program is offered in addition to the Elite Experience — the two go hand in hand. Elite provides the intensive, year-round training foundation, and Competition brings that training to the stage. Competitive dancers take part in both programs together.
Our Competitive Programs
Our Philosophy
At Dans’Atout, we believe competitive dance should remain inspiring, supportive, and centered around the growth of every dancer.
Competitions are exciting events where dancers come together to celebrate their love of dance, gain performance experience, build friendships, and learn from one another in a positive environment.
Our faculty carefully creates teams based on technical development, choreography, age, versatility, performance quality, and overall group dynamic. Placement decisions are made with the long-term growth of both the dancer and the team in mind.
We Value
What to Expect
Competitive dance requires commitment, consistency, and passion. Here is what families can expect throughout the season.
Our dancers typically train approximately the number of hours equivalent to their age as they progress through the program.
Detailed schedules and expectations are shared prior to registration each season.
In addition to group routines, select dancers may request solos, duos, or trios.
These additional routines must be approved by faculty and are based on technical readiness, maturity, work ethic, and overall season workload.
Private lessons are available for dancers wishing to further develop their skills.
Join the Team
Dancers may join our competition program through a staff invitation or through our open auditions held every two years. We are currently accepting virtual audition applications.

Competition families are expected to contribute throughout the season through volunteer opportunities connected to performances, events, showcases, fundraising initiatives, and studio activities.
Parent involvement plays an important role in supporting our dancers and helping our events run smoothly.
