Competition
Take your passion for dance to the next level. Join our national, award-winning competition team!
Our team competes 3-4 times per year and travels for nationals at the end of the season. Our classes blend strict technique with fun, fresh, and unique choreography to create eye-catching dances that stand out in the competition world. All students are required to take technique and ballet classes, in addition to the classes they are enrolled in.
Our competition team has won multiple diamond, high platinum, and platinum awards throughout or regional and national competitions. DWDP is consistently being recognized for outstanding choreography, technique, and stage presence through special judges awards. Our elite hip hop team recently took home the highest scoring hip hop routine of the entire competition at Beyond the Stars regionals! Our junior contemporary team was runner-up at the Turn It Up nationals challenge! We couldn't be more proud of our students.
Our team is constantly growing, evolving and pushing boundaries in the dance world. NOW is the time to join us! Please contact us for a personal evaluation if you're interested in being a part of our competition dance family.

The relationships our students build both on and off the stage is our greatest accomplishment here at DWDP
To me, DWDP means family. When my daughter was 3, Mrs. Chrissy went on stage and held her hand during her first recital. Now 7 years later (3 of those years being on the competition team), Mrs. Chrissy and the other teachers continue to guide her through her dance journey. They all help build confidence within the dancers and strengthen their passion. DWDP is truly our home away from home!

DWDP is an amazing dance studio. My daughter has been dancing here since she was in kindergarten. Now entering her freshman year of high school, DWDP is truly her second home. She is now part of the competition team and LOVES it! My daughter has incredible friendships with her teachers and her fellow dancers. They have all grown up together. She has also learned so much over these years, not just technique and dance skills, but life skills as well. She is a strong, confident, beautiful girl because of the community she is a part of and the environment she is in. I have a beautiful butterfly dancer, but an even better human being!

My daughter has been dancing at DWDP for 5 years. I am so impressed at how confident she has become and how much she has grown as a dancer. DWDP has become my daughter’s second home. She has made many friendships along the way and loves all her teachers who not only teach great technique and choreography, but also guide her to be the best version of herself. I’m grateful to know that she is going to a safe place while doing what she loves.
