Competition & CORE Summer Programming

CORE Program

Our NEW CORE Program invites dancers in kindergarten through sixth grade to audition for our CORE Teams. This program is perfect for dancers seeking more: more performance opportunities, more dedicated teammates, and a deeper level of training to gain a competitive edge. Auditions will include tap, jazz, and ballet, and every dancer who auditions will be placed on a team for the 2026–27 school year season. For more information on our CORE Program please email info@danceweststudio.com. Registration opens February 1st.

*Dancers must be attending Kindergarten for the 2026-27 school year season to audition.
