Our Competition Philosophy

Our competition philosophy is a very positive one! We believe a positive approach leads to a positive outcome, and there is always something greater to achieve. We want our dancers to focus on growth and achieving their personal BEST, not winning. For us, competition will always serve to motivate, inspire, and educate our dancers in a positive environment. At competition, we receive constructive criticism from experienced, knowledgeable judges with different backgrounds, and we use this feedback as a basis for improvement and growth!

While competing, our dancers also learn to respect other dancers, studios and teachers for their strengths and talents! The dance world is very small, and building positive relationships with our peers is so important. The opportunities, life lessons, and connections that come from the dance world will benefit your child’s individual growth and future success.

We are incredibly proud of the successful Company Dancer Program at Collingwood School of Dance, and we’re excited to continue to inspire and grow as dancers and individuals!
