The Collective
Be a part of something special!
SDA's renowned competitive program is designed to challenge and inspire children who are more serious about dance.
The Collective is split into divisions based on ability, technique, commitment and level of intensity. This program offers intense technical training, award winning choreography, conditioning and personal attention from highly trained and experienced instructors.
While the focus is on giving students the ability to dance at a highly competitive level, they also learn valuable lessons and qualities that benefit them outside of the dance world, including self-discipline, responsibility, respect, time management and self-expression.
All Collective dancers audition in June. The season runs through June of the following year. Students must be at least 8 years old to participate in our competitive program. Dancers train anywhere from 2-5 days a week.
SDA's Tiny & Mini Competition Teams are for dancers ages 5-8. Rehearsals for the new season start in November 2025.
