COMPETITION TEAM INFORMATION:
​
Competition Team is by invitation only:
​Students have the opportunity to compete locally in a professionally judged, competitive environment. All dancers receive individual training at the studio to create a unique choreographed performance that showcases their skills. Competitions are a wonderful opportunity to see other dance performances and skill levels while being critiqued in a positive and constructive environment. The competition dancers will be part of the studio team SamCam & Company and will be expected to support each other as individuals as well as members of SamCam's Dance Studio.
