Jake & Meghan Lavender competing in American Smooth

Competitive Ballroom Dance

Competitive ballroom dancing, also known as DanceSport consists of American Style Smooth & Rhythm, International Style Standard & Latin, Nightclub, and Country Western dances. Students have the opportunity to compete from the Newcomer Level all the way through Gold (Advanced) Levels in events every weekend, all over the World.

Competitions & performances are great for all dancers - regardless of experience level. Having a future event on the calendar helps you maintain focus on private lessons and set both small and big goals for your dancing. Results and feedback from professionals at these events helps your instructor plan lessons that will help you reach those goals even faster.

Our team is dedicated to making your competition or showcase a memorable, inspiring, educational, and FUN experience. We are extremely proud of the supportive community we have built over the last decade. So, what are you waiting for?
