The Competition Lines (ages 5-18) are designed for advanced dancers looking to further expand their dance experiences.
These groups perform challenging dance numbers at community events, attend dance conventions, perform at all Kay Michael Lee recitals, and compete in statewide, regional, and national dance competitions.
- Dancers ages 5-7 are invited to sign up for our Precious Gems line, which does not require an audition. This program gives beginner dancers ages 5-7 a chance to compete at 2 competitions per year & perform at community events with a lower commitment level compared to our Diamond, Ruby, & Emerald Competition Lines. The Precious Gems go through an “audition” process on the first day of class, but everyone is accepted onto this line.
- Dancers ages 8-18 are invited to audition for a place on one of our three competition lines: Diamond, Ruby, and Emeralds.
