The Competition program is a journey. It is not a destination. The most successful outcome is to achieve a personal best performance while supporting your teammates to achieve their personal best through continuous improvement and sincere effort. The purpose of the competition program is to instill a higher level of leadership, self-confidence and self-reliance.
The goal of competition is to instill a passion for performing rather than merely the desire to win awards. With the right focus, the experience gained in competition can be a positive influence in all aspects of a dancer’s life.
Each child interested in competition is registered into the competition program as per their level and age. In October interested dancers may sign up for a solo or duet and request a teacher of their choice.
Ballet is the basis of all dance forms! PEDF feels all students should have this strong technical base (or at least be working towards it) when entering competitions.
PEDF will participate in three to four competitions during April - June for a total of three to four competitions. One to three of these competitions will be out of town. Primary students will perform one dance in two local competition to get a feeling for the competitive atmosphere.
Competition is seen as a team commitment, therefore it is integral that each student attends every performance and competition. It is discouraging to the entire group when individuals are absent. Students are notified by October of competition dates, and are expected to make their participation a priority. Students who do not attend perf
Competition is seen as a team commitment, therefore it is integral that each student attends every performance and competition. It is discouraging to the entire group when individuals are absent. Students are notified by October of competition dates, and are expected to make their participation a priority. Students who do not attend performances and competitions without notice will be asked to withdraw from the competitive program. No refunds will be given. If there is an unexpected or UNAVOIDABLE reason for your child to miss a rehearsal or competition, please let the teacher know immediately! Competitive dancer families are asked not to schedule any family holidays from February 1 to the end of June. This includes Easter weekend as many competitions are around this time. Competition schedules are set by the competition and final schedules are sent out 2 weeks prior to the competition.
Costumes cost are paid to the studio. Each competitive dancer is required to pay a costume deposit of $75 per dance by January 15. Each recreational dancer is required to pay a costume deposit of $50 by January 15th. The remainder of the costume fees will be billed out in April and due by May 15th.

Parents also need to take into account, not all competitions will fall on a weekend. This may mean taking a day off of work and your child missing school
All of our dancers would say YES! They all have a wonderful time at every competition and many parents have REALLY Enjoyed watching their child and others perform! Plus, it creates a great sense of camaraderie among our dancers!
