Dance Class Studio Competition Teams
What is DCS Company?
The Dance Class Studio ‘Company’ Competition Team is comprised of dancers who are motivated and dedicated to dance and want to explore ways to become the best dancer they can be. The art of dance allows oneself to improve and meet goals through self-discipline, practice, and personal commitment. Being part of our team teaches camaraderie, loyalty, honor to commitment, time management, leadership skills, cooperation, collaboration, responsibility, dependability, sportsmanship, trust and teamwork among so many other life skills. Like most things, the harder you work, the more you will receive in return. Performing on stage and competing helps build confidence, polish, poise, self-esteem, and excitement. Dancers take assigned classes weekly that will enhance their education so they are well-rounded in technique and multiple styles of dance. Progress is simple to follow as the dancers themselves can easily set goals, as well as their teachers.

Below is a list of some of the events where our Company has performed at/will be returning to:

Christmas Gift and Hobby Show
