Dedication to practising at home is just as important. Competitions provide a chance to showcase the hard work you’ve invested in your classes, and those who make the greatest progress are often the dancers who spend time outside the studio refining their routines.

Finally, getting ready for competitions also requires clear communication with your teacher Miss Jade. This involves organising private lessons to learn your solo, extra rehearsals if required and keeping up to date with important deadlines for entries and running orders. Each stage of the process is carefully planned to maximise your success and ensure you feel confident and fully prepared for the big day.
