Competition Information
Studio Competition Philosophy
Revolution's Competition Team is open to all enthusiastic dancers eager to showcase their talents on stage. For many, competitions are the highlight of the dance year, offering a thrilling opportunity to perform and shine.
The primary purpose of our competition program is to cultivate leadership, self-confidence, and self-reliance in our dancers. Our goal is to foster a genuine passion for performing, emphasizing personal growth and artistic expression over the pursuit of awards. With the right focus, the experience gained through competition becomes a positive influence, enhancing dance skills and enriching all aspects of a dancer's life. Join us and let the spirit of competition inspire and elevate your dance journey!
Whether you are a recreational dancer or a former competition participant, we invite you to join our competition program. We believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the excitement and growth of participating in dance competitions. To ensure each dancer has a positive and rewarding experience, we group students by age, experience, and ability.
Competitions offer a fantastic opportunity for students to perform, gain confidence, and become more comfortable on stage. We participate in 3-4 competitions in Calgary and several out-of-town events each year, providing our dancers with diverse and enriching performance experiences.

Attendance is crucial; competitive members must attend at least 90% of their classes to maintain their spot on the team.
