Competition Team

Dance competitions are an exciting way to gain experience in front of an audience. At Ballet Montreal we encourage all dancers to try out for the competition team. You will compete at national competitions and enjoy the experience of being part of a close knit team. Dancers are asked to discuss their requests and wishes with Paula and we do our best to accommodate students of all levels. If you have already some experience in competing and you would like to join our team, we welcome you to discuss how much more you can achieve with Ballet Montreal.

Competition team members take extra classes over and above their standard week to learn choreography and practice their performances.

Competition should be a rewarding and fun opportunity to showcase talent and hard work.
