Performance opportunities and competitive experiences are great ways for children to learn valuable qualities! At 4th
Street Dance Centre, we promote competition as a positive learning experience that is not based solely on winning top
awards; instead, we promote children to do the best they can as an individual and to use their talents to the best of
their abilities. We want every child to be proud of who they are!
With the experience, children learn how to compete respectfully and gracefully, always encouraging other dancers
from our studio and from other studios. Children learn the importance of practicing, discipline, and time
management; ultimately working hard for what they desire. Not only will these skills and lessons apply in dance, but
they will also apply in the future academic, professional, and personal endeavors. Children learn constructive
criticism in a positive environment, while developing courage and confidence.
4th Street Dance Centre currently offers the competitive dance company for dancers ages 4 & up who want to learn
about the dance world on a heightened level. Our competition teams are based on ability levels and age groups.
Dancers are required to audition for the competition teams and are placed in the proper company based on their age
and ability.
