West Austin Dance Competitive Programs
Itty Bitties
Our Itty Bitties, ages 4–6, are the tiniest stars with the biggest personalities! This sweet and spunky group gains confidence, builds friendships, and learns the joy of performing. With fun classes, team bonding, and their first competitions, the Itty Bitties are the perfect start to the competitive dance journey.
Mini Squad
Our Minis, ages 7–9, are full of energy, heart, and growing talent! This group builds on foundational skills while learning the value of teamwork, confidence, and performance. With increased structure and stage opportunities, our Minis shine as they take their next big steps in the world of competitive dance.
Rock Squad
The Rock Squad is made up of our fierce 6–8 year olds who are ready to train hard and shine bright. As part of our Company program, they take multiple classes each week, travel to conventions, and grow quickly in both technique and performance. These dancers are small but mighty!
Competition Team
Our Competition Team is a performance-focused group for dancers who love to train, perform, and grow—while still balancing other activities. These dancers attend select competitions and conventions, take weekly classes in core styles, and thrive in a supportive, team-first environment that celebrates confidence, commitment, and a passion for dance.
Company
Our Company dancers are dedicated, driven, and passionate artists committed to high-level training and performance. This elite group trains multiple days a week, travels to top conventions and competitions, and works closely with industry professionals. Company is where talent meets work ethic—and dancers are challenged to rise, inspire, and lead.
