As we believe that ANYONE can compete on the competition stage, our auditioning process is focused on placement in the right setting for each dancer. This means that no matter what, you’re student is making the team! If we feel your student may be better suited for a recreation class, we will offer this suggestion, but will never turn a student away who is ready for a challenge.

You can view the entirety of the studio schedule under the ‘Calendar’ tab of the ‘Studio Info & Resources’ header above.

Class schedules, dates and times are posted to all Parent Portals prior to the beginning of the season for easy access and reference. Curious about what a weekly schedule might look like? Reach out to us and we would be happy to share a sample!

Need the accessories to get dancing with us? Head to the ‘Store’ link at the top of the page and search for what you need there. All costumes and necessary performing pieces are included within your registration and are taken care of by 360 Dance Center staff.

At 360 Dance Center, we deeply believe in going Full Circle for our students no matter what class they are registered for. Our curriculum includes weekly Mental Health Check-Ins, Anatomy & Nutrition lessons, fun and accessible choreography, Goal Setting and more!

Our Competition Classes include all of aforementioned elements, but also include mandatory community outreach events, additional mentoring and performance opportunities and help dancers expand their knowledge, strength and confidence in a faster pace and inclusive setting!

By participating in Competition Dance, a dancer will leave a season with a better knowledge of their abilities, emotions, capabilities and empathy as they explore trickier technique and work hard together to improve ourselves and our surrounding communities.
