Competitive Programs

Our Company Program focuses on educating young people to strive for their personal best in all that they want to accomplish.

We achieve our goals for the program by offering dancers the chance to:

gain a sense of balance in life by managing their commitments to both dance and academics;
participate in a physical activity that enhances understanding of the value of a healthy body;
develop a sense of confidence when speaking or making a presentation in a public setting, which is also a great benefit in college or job interviews;
work with mentors who are focused on the students’ success inside and outside of the classroom;
enjoy friendships that could last a lifetime and a sense of belonging to an extended family of fellow dancers, teachers, and parents;
discover the results of hard work and determination; and
develop a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.

We believe that a well-rounded dance education is important in developing mature, confidant and successful dancers. Many dance studios do not require students to participate in multiple genres of dance.

By requiring our students to take different genres of dance, we provide them with a solid dance background and the tools needed for a successful career in dance.

Our dancers are provided with classes in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, musical theatre, contemporary, acro, and pointe.

Dress Code

The dress code for our Company Program classes includes:

Black Leotard, beige and/or pink tights, genre-specific shoes.

We ask that all dancers wear their hair in a ponytail or a bun in order to keep off their face.

Examinations

We are invested in comprehensive dance training for our students, and are proud to offer a wide variety of programming for dancers of all ages and technical abilities. Dance exams are an excellent way for dancers to work towards a goal by studying a standard syllabus that is developed with age and development appropriate building blocks for the students.

Dance exams are fun, challenging, and hold students accountable in their training. We encourage our students to participate in dance exams because they encourage dedication and promote students to find their passion of dance through hard work, discipline, and goal setting. Dance exams are offered to company students through invitation.

Dance exams are performed by an outside examiner associated with the dance syllabi the dancer is training in. At LimeLitez our students train in and are examined through the ADAPT tap and jazz syllabus, RAD ballet syllabus and the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus. We offer all levels of the ADAPT, RAD and Acrobatic Arts exams.

Competitions

It is our goal to instill in our students a passion for performing rather than merely the desire to win awards. We believe the lessons learned through extra performances are as valuable as the competition experience.

Our solid reputation for quality reflects our attitude toward competition and our goal to develop in each student a genuine respect for dance as an art form. We consider students’ participation in competitions not merely part of their dance training; it’s also an important part of how we influence their growth as people. With the right focus, the experience gained in competition can be an excellent source of self-confidence.

LimeLitez Students are expected to attend 4 competitions and are able to add additional competitions if available. Micro mini students attend only 2 local competitions.

Each spring our dancers take part in a studio picture day. We provide your rental costumes and all you have to do is show up! Photos can be ordered through the photographer after they are previewed. This is a great keepsake for your child!
