Competition
CPAA offers competitive dance for dancers with the dedication, determination, and desire to take their dance involvement to the next level! We strive to create a positive competition experience in which dancers can pursue and explore the excitement of performing in front of live audiences. At CPAA, we strive to encourage a philosophy and mindset that defines success as doing one’s personal best, encouraging others to do the same, and emphasizing the value of the experience rather than the score alone. It is key for dancers to be aligned with this philosophy in order to have a successful season. With the right mindset, competitive dance can be motivating and inspiring! We hope that this adventure will offer the opportunity for invaluable lessons that will help our students grow as dancers and individuals.
