The nationally ranked Academy of Ballet Competition Team is comprised of dedicated dancers ages 5 and up. While many of our dancers participate in other activities, the competition team is a significant time and financial commitment and is expected to take priority over all other sports. Whether you want to dance 2 or 6 days a week, we have a team for you! Don't be fooled by our studio name, we do it all at AOB. We compete in tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, musical theatre and hip hop. In addition to regional and national top scores and titles, our dancers have been recognized for their Outstanding Choreography, Sportsmanship, Excellence in Technique and Excellence in Entertainment. We are proud to have dancers travel as assistants with multiple dance conventions. Our team has even been seen on NBC!
​​
While the awards are fun, we are a training first, growth mindset oriented team. We are proud to bring industry leaders in-house to work with our dancers on a regular basis. Our in house competition teachers/choreographers are all competition judges, convention teachers and working professional dancers. We strive for versatility, artistry and performance quality in addition to the strong technique developed in our ballet based program. It is our goal to prepare dancers for success in any path they choose after the studio - dance or otherwise.
​
We attend two mandatory events in the fall and three mandatory events in the spring, with several additional (optional) opportunities including NATIONALS AND WORLDS! We have traveled to Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Montgomery, Texas, Savannah, NYC...where to in 2026?
​
In addition to exciting performance opportunities, our team has exclusive perks like photo shoots, parties and team awards. We're a family that supports each other AND our friends at other studios. #CommunityOverCompetition always - join ours!
​
All age groups will audition in tap, jazz, lyrical/contemporary and hip hop. Dancers will need to wear all black, bring all appropriate shoes and arrive 15 minutes early for check in. Questions or can't make it? Email us at academy4ballet@gmail.com.​
