Competition Classes
The VDP National Champion Competition Teams offer something most do not...balance! Our teams include dancers that LOVE to dance and want to work hard! Some WANT to work on Broadway or in LA someday, while other want to star in their high school musicals. Some want to compete in one or two dances and take class 4 hours a week, while others want to dance as much as possible and do 7, 8, or more routines at competition! You choose your time commitment...with the proper level of technique, we'll find the team for you!
But no matter the number of hours you want to spend dancing, VDP balances the goals of dance education, family, school, and church! Life is about balance...and so are we!
Our Junior Competition Team Dancers (Star Bursts, Starlites, Stars, Star Steppers, and Star Dreamers) all compete in each of the required team dances. Please see the individual team pages for details. During this time, the dancers are developing their skills in many disciplines, while learning which are their favorites, as well as their easiest and most challenging style of dance.
Once our dancers reach Junior High, the dancers are able to CHOOSE which dance disciplines (tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, musical theater, etc) they want to continue in. Most choose to continue in 5 or 6 routines each year, while some choose to balance 2 or 3 classes/routines with their junior high or high school activites.
The VDP Competition Teams compete at 3-5 regional competitions each spring, while traveling to national competition every other summer. While continuing to provide family balance and a strong work ethic, the VDP Competition Teams continue to rank amongst the Nations TOP Competition Studios! At VDP, you CAN have it all!
