Competitive Program
Our competitive team gives our dancers the chance to showcase their skills and talents in a supportive and challenging environment. The team promotes hard work, commitment, teamwork and balancing everyday tasks with dance. If you are ready to grow into a strong, committed dancer then join our amazing award winning team today!
All competitive students are required to do an audition each year. This is how we maintain high standards within our competitive companies and manage our levels of training for each group. As dancers grow, we make sure that they are placed into the appropriate level that reflects their abilities and work ethic. Whether you are new to ODP or a returning dancer, everyone is required to attend the auditions.
If you are interested in auditioning for our competitive team after the Audition Date, please contact us to book a private audition today!
