FDS ELITE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM 

Welcome to the Elite Competitive Program!

 

Welcome to the pinnacle of dance excellence at Fantasy Dance School. Our Elite Competitive Program is designed for our most dedicated and experienced dancers, ages 7 and up, who aspire to excel in ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop disciplines. This program cultivates not only technical prowess but also fosters teamwork, discipline, and a passion for artistic expression.

Philosophy and Expectations

At Fantasy Dance School, we believe in nurturing the artistic and personal growth of each dancer. Our Elite Competitive Program sets high standards of excellence, encouraging dancers to push their boundaries and achieve their fullest potential. We emphasize dedication, discipline, resilience, and respect, not only for oneself but for fellow team members, instructors, and the art of dance itself.

 

We view every dancer as a unique artist and athlete, and we are committed to fostering an environment where passion meets purpose. We approach each dancer individually, creating a personalized growth plan that supports their strengths, addresses areas for improvement, and aligns with their goals. Whether a dancer is working toward advanced technique, improved stage presence, or leadership within the team, they will receive thoughtful guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

Dancers are expected to take ownership of their progress, maintain a positive and respectful attitude, and contribute to a team culture that values unity, encouragement, and accountability. Through consistent training, performance opportunities, and constructive feedback, our dancers develop not only strong technique but also confidence, leadership skills, and a lifelong appreciation for hard work and creative expression.

At Fantasy Dance School, we don’t just train dancers, we shape well-rounded individuals who carry the values of excellence and integrity into every area of their lives.

Expectations

Placements by Levels

For the 2025–2026 school year, we will offer three levels of training and performance. This adjustment allows for more flexibility and better alignment with dancer development, especially for students who are in between levels or participating in combined classes.

⭐ Level I: Ages 8 - 10

Foundational training focusing on core technique, discipline, and performance basics.

⭐ Level II/III: Ages 11 - 13

Intermediate skills development with increased focus on strength, flexibility, and choreography.

⭐ Level III/IV: Ages 14 and up

Advanced technique, artistry, and preparation for competition and performance leadership.

 

Note: Some dancers may be placed in combined or transitional groups based on their skill level, experience, and instructor recommendation, regardless of age.

Each level requires a minimum number of dancers to form an FDS ELITE Competition Team, ensuring a cohesive and dynamic group environment.
