WHY JOIN A P3DC
COMPETITION TEAM?
WHAT SETS P3DC APART FROM OTHER TEAMS?
At Project 3 Dance Company, our competition teams are built for dancers who are ready to take their training to the next level. We don’t just create great performers— we develop disciplined, passionate, and versatile dancers prepared for success in competitive dance, performing arts high schools, college teams, and beyond.
At P3DC, we believe that competition is more than just winning trophies—it’s about growth, resilience, and artistry. Our dancers train in multiple styles, develop strong technique, and gain valuable performance experience that sets them apart. When you join our competition team, you’re not just part of a dance studio—you’re part of a family that pushes, supports, and celebrates each other every step of the way.
TEAM REQUIREMENTS
Joining a P3DC competition team requires a year-long commitment to excellence. Here’s what you can expect:

SUMMER
Returning Junior & Teen Competition Team Members must take class in the Summer. Members are required to take technique, conditioning, and any choreography classes they are interested in auditioning for in the Fall season.
