More Stage Time. More Challenge. Still Your Dancer.
Competition Without Losing the Person Behind the Dancer
For some dancers, competition is the next challenge they’re excited to take on. They want more time onstage, more opportunities to stretch their skills, and a team experience that asks more of them.
At Vibe, competition is one path, not the definition of a serious dancer. Our goal is to help dancers work hard, set goals, take risks, and grow while still feeling heard, respected, and supported as people.
Vibe also offers a soloist path for dancers who want to perform or compete without the commitment of a traditional team setting, giving families another way to find the level of involvement that fits.
Our Competitive Programs
At Vibe we don't just offer a traditional competition team. We have options for non-traditional competition dancers. These programs can be used by any dancer in the United States and dancers over the age of 5 years old.
Competition Team
Our competition team is open to all dancers aged 5 years and older. We recommend the dancer has at least 1-2 years of dance experience. To join our team, we hold evaluations during the last half of July each year.

An evaluation is a one-on-one meeting with you, your dancer and our studio owner. During the evaluation we go through a warmup and various skills with your dancer to understand where their current level is. At the end of the evaluation, we invite the parent in to discuss information about your dancer, your family, goals, and what you are looking for in the program.
Once evaluations are complete, we announce the groups and routines for the season. The season runs from August through June/July. During the season, we require them to take a weekly conditioning class along with rehearsals; we highly recommend attending additional classes throughout the week to continue their growth.
Our Competition team travels to 4 local regional competitions and 1 national competition each season.
All Ability Team
Our All Ability Team is an inclusive dance team for dancers of all physical and mental abilities. This group is open to all ages.

A Place to Push Yourself and Belong
Competition can ask dancers to work harder and step outside their comfort zone. At Vibe, that challenge is paired with the support to learn, fail, adjust, and keep going.
More Opportunities
Dancers looking for greater commitment have more chances to perform, compete, and work toward meaningful goals.
Room to Grow
Training encourages dancers to push their boundaries and see challenges as opportunities to learn rather than proof they aren’t good enough.
Supported as People
Technique and performance matter, but so do each dancer’s voice, well-being, kindness, and sense of belonging.
