Competition dance is so exciting and entertaining. We get to try many different styles and bring our talents to the stage when we compete against other studios. We have even competed against each other, but it is healthy competition. Whether it is a group dance, solo, duet or production, it is fun to watch each other dance.

One of  our competitions  is “The Power of Dance.” This competition helps us realize that we can use our talents for the good of those in need. Every dance that we enter and every dance that wins raises money for the charity that the studios choose. We both compete every year. This is a great competition, and it is for a good cause.

This year will be our third year competing at “The Power of Dance” and at other competitions. We are always so excited to get on the stage, and every time we dance, we feel free and dance from our hearts. We are so thankful that our parents support and provide for us. We wouldn’t be anywhere without our amazing dance teachers who do whatever it takes to help us improve and shine on the stage each time we perform. Dance is our dream, and we are so glad that there are many amazing people who help us to pursue it. We hope to continue dancing for years to come, and have fun while doing so.
