Competition Teams

Menlo Park Academy of Dance proudly sponsors groups of dancers in numerous competitions at both the local and national levels. These dancers have demonstrated a strong commitment to dance and a love for performing. Students who participate on the competition team are given choreographic work to strengthen their technique, performance confidence, and self discipline. Though our students have received numerous awards for their efforts, our studio's primary focus is to provide a rich learning experience and additional performance opportunities for our members. Dancers currently perform various dance styles including pointe, lyrical, jazz, hip hop, and tap. The competition team does require both significant time and financial commitments and is by invitation only.
