Competitive Auditions 2008:
Please phone
for an appointment
Competitive Dance Camp 2008:
August 18 to
August 22
Our faculty is dedicated to conducting their
classes in a disciplined manner, with positive re-enforcement in a warm
friendly atmosphere, as well as striving to reach each dancers individual
potential. Competition provides each dancer the opportunity to achieve
their personal best. The knowledge and technique combined with the
performance experience will make a positive impact on each dancer
throughout their years.
At the Oakville Academy for the Arts, Ballet
and Jazz are the mandatory disciplines of our competitive program. We
believe that these two disciplines compliment each other to create a
solid technical foundation. Tap, Lyrical, Acro and Hip Hop are highly
recommended for our competitive dancers, to increase their versatility and
training, however they are optional. Our competitive dancers train between
6-12 hours per week depending on their age and company. If selected for
Solo, Duet, Trio, Small Group or Extended Line extra choreography, those
additional hours will be added to their schedule. The Competitive dancers
will participate in 4-5 competitions throughout the year, traveling
across Ontario and into the United States. These competitions allow the
dancers to showcase their talents and performing abilities as well as be
adjudicated on their talent and performance skills.
