Competition Teams

The CDC Competition Team is for students who want to have the opportunity to dance in a competition environment. Competition Team membership offers students the chance to enjoy being on stage and being around other performers and teammates, giving themselves a chance to nurture their competitive spirit.

CDC students who are interested in joining competitions must have a higher level of commitment and dedication as training hours increase, and physical and emotional preparation is necessary. 

The CDC Competition Team members are required to attend either an RAD Ballet in addition to their competition class (which works on the technique and choreography). They will compete in 2 -3 dance competitions held locally, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, SC. They also get to perform their routines at community events where CDC is invited to perform and at the annual Spring / Summer Festival of Dance performances.

Students who are interested to perform a solo for competitions require a one-on-one training. Separate rehearsals are required of those who are in the ensemble or group dances.

There are private lesson fees and competition entry fees involved as well as travel and accommodation expenses for those who compete outside of the Myrtle Beach area.

CDC students are given the opportunity to participate in competitive dance this year. Competition dance requires a high level of commitment from both the dance and the family. It also involves significant financial expense. There are added costs associated with competitions.

Competition team members will work on any or all of the following dance styles and ensemble dances: Jazz, Lyrical, Acro and Tap.

Overview of Competition Teams

OFor the COASTAL DANCE CENTRE student who desires something more, we have the Competition Team program that allows for more training and performance opportunities.  This program is for the self-driven group of dancers that are very focused on dance and desire to better themselves while being team players.

COASTAL DANCE CENTRE’S award-winning COMPETITION TEAM PROGRAM is a special program designed for dancers who love to perform and passionate about dance. 

ALL DANCERS MUST AUDITION or BE INVITED before they are selected for the team (current / returning students need to re-audition each dance year/season).

* The Competition Team Teachers are looking for showmanship, personality, the right attitude, a love for dance and potential for development as a dancer.  Within our Competition Teams, we have multiple levels, allowing our dancers to make gradual steps up within the program.

* Dancers may elect to participate in 1 or multiple Teams per season. 

* Placement is by audition/class observation and based on the dancer’s strengths.

Eligibility: The Competition Teams are for ages 5-18 with a focus on strong foundations, clean technique, flexibility, strength and timing. Our Competition Team dancers will participate in 3 competitions each season. Select dancers, with teacher’s approval/ by invitation only,  may have opportunities for solos..

Summer Commitment:
* Minimum of 4 weekly summer classes – required. Join us for dance classes.
* Attendance at Summer Intensives highly encouraged but not required.

Uniform and Dress Code

All Coastal Dance Centre dance classes have a specified uniform attire. Parents/guardians must purchase the required leotards with the Coastal Dance Centre logo at the Front Office. It is important for students to abide by a dress code policy for the following reasons:

● A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teachers, and the art of dance.
● Teachers must be able to see the dancer’s body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.
● A uniform ensures that the dancer’s clothing is not a distraction during class which helps to keep the dancer more engaged.
● No costumes are allowed in class unless a dress-up day is announced by the teachers.
● Only small stud earrings are allowed; no loose nor dangling earrings; no necklaces nor bracelets.
● Hair must be properly secured and tied up off of the face and neck for all styles of dance.
            GIRLS: Hair must be pulled back out of eyes into a neat and secure bun and secured tightly
with a hair net and bobby pins. Ponytails are acceptable in jazz and tap classes.
            BOYS: Hair groomed and kept neatly out of the eyes.
● Older students are required to wear the proper undergarments (dance trunks, dance bras or
camisole-style leotards, dance belts) with the appropriate clothing designated for the class.
● No warm-up shirts, skirts, leg warmers, sweatpants, or shorts may be worn during class unless
prior approval is obtained from the teacher.
● When coming to and going from the studio, all students must wear outer clothing, i.e., pants, skirt,
sweater, over their dance attire.
● No dance shoes are to be worn outside of the studio under any condition.
● All clothing and shoes must be marked with the student’s full name.
