Competition Training
At Come Dance With Us, we offer our students opportunities to experience
the thrill and excitement of competition. Contrary to what you may think, Latin
and Ballroom competitions are for dancers of all ages and levels. Even if you have
only been dancing for two months, there is a category specifically designed for
you.
A competition, regardless of the size, presents the challenge of goal achievement.
Dancing is always fun, but when you have a specific purpose in mind, you are able
to progress faster. Establishing an end objective can contribute to greater focus
in your lessons, and provide incentive to push yourself to new levels. The great
thing about this sport is that working toward a goal can be just as much fun as
attaining it.

In addition, competitions are a useful way to evaluate your own progress. Most competitors
have their performances recorded on video. After the competition, you can assess
the performance with your instructor to determine which areas demonstrated progress,
and which may require more attention. A picture is worth a thousand words, and video
is one of the most useful learning tools a dancer can utilize.
Lastly, competitions offer a unique experience. The dance floor can bring out the
best in all of us: stimulating not only our dancing, but confidence and character
as well. Great music, glamorous costumes and vibrant energy fill the ballroom from
morning ‘til night with people from all over the world who share the love of dance.
It is advisable to take two or more lessons per week on a competition program with
more time spent practicing as the competition date draws near. Come Dance With Us
also offers consultations on costuming, hair, and makeup as you prepare for competition,
or to look great at your special social event.
