COMPETE AT
THE HIVE
AGES 3 TO ADULT • BEGINNER TO ALL-STAR
Competition at The Dance Hive is not one-size-fits-all. From a dancer’s first introduction to competing to high-level All-Star opportunities, we offer different competitive experiences designed around age, level, goals, and readiness.
AUTHENTIC STREET STYLES. HIGH-LEVEL COMPETITION. ONE COMMUNITY.
FIND YOUR COMPETITIVE FIT
There are different ways to experience competition at The Hive.
INTRO TO COMPETING
A lighter introduction to the competitive world, with fewer competitions and more festival-style performance opportunities. A great starting point for younger dancers and those beginning their competitive journey.
COMPETITIVE
Our core competitive experience, combining weekly team training, performances, multiple competitions throughout the season, and continued dancer development.
ALL-STAR + ACCELERATED
Higher-level opportunities for dancers ready for increased commitment, advanced training, travel, and elevated competitive experiences.
Some competitive programs are open registration and dancers can join directly, while others require an audition or placement. Our team can help you find the best fit.
MORE THAN COMPETITION
We want our dancers to succeed in competition without losing the foundations, culture, and individuality that make street dance what it is.
AUTHENTIC STREET STYLES
TRAINING THAT MATTERS
COMMUNITY BEYOND CLASS
We train and compete authentic street styles at a high level. Dancers develop real foundations, musicality, movement quality, and style while still learning how to perform successfully in a competitive setting.
Training is a major part of our competitive program. Dancers learn foundations, terminology, history, freestyle, musicality, and movement concepts that go far beyond simply learning another routine.
Competitive dancers are part of more than a weekly rehearsal. Team bonding, studio activities, performances, and shared experiences help create genuine relationships and a strong sense of community throughout the season.
THE COMMITMENT
Competitive dance is a commitment at every level. Whether a dancer is brand new to competition or part of an accelerated program, consistency and attendance are an important part of being on a team.
WEEKLY TRAINING
Competitive teams rehearse consistently throughout the season. Dancers enrolled in two or more competitive classes are also required to participate in a training class as part of their development.
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Strong attendance is expected across all competitive programs. Every dancer plays an important role in their team, and consistent attendance allows the group to train, clean, and perform safely and successfully.
COMPETITIONS + PERFORMANCES
Depending on the dancer’s age and program, competitive teams generally participate in approximately 3–6 competitions or competitive events throughout the season, along with additional performances and studio opportunities.
TRAVEL + YEAR-END SHOW
Some programs include travel opportunities, particularly within higher-level and All-Star programming. Competitive dancers also perform in The Dance Hive’s annual year-end show near the end of June.
