RSDS Competition Team offers focused and committed dancers (ages 7-18yrs) a year-round opportunity to perform and compete at regional and national dance competitions and community events. We combine hard work ethic, strong class etiquette and dedication to achieving personal goals, with the sense of unity and belonging, as our dancers grow close amongst one another and their instructors. Whether we are competing on a regional/national competition stage, dancing in Disneyland, performing at benefit shows/fundraisers, or participating in master class workshops/conventions, RSDS Competition Team dancers are provided the experiences to grow as technicians and artists. Being a part of the RSDS Competition Team will expand your dancer’s passion and unify them with others who share in this same beautiful art. Life lessons are learned along the way, giving our team dancers life skills that will strengthen them as individuals. Our goal is to give your dancer the tools they need if they choose to have dance in their future while also guiding them towards a successful life in as a confident person.
