Rockland Competitive Dance is a competitive dance team experience designed to introduce aspiring dancers (ages 6 and up) to workshops, conventions, dance industry education and performance opportunities. The program is meant to compliment the aspiring dancers training at Coupe, not conflict. We are committed to building confidence in our students and offering team skill development. We encourage peer support and find value in working together towards a common goal.
Auditions:
Auditions for Rockland Competitive Dance happen in the fall at the beginning of the school year. Auditioners should be actively training in multiple styles of dance. Details about specific audition dates and times are posted on social media.
