SDA has THREE streams of its competitive dance program:

HALFTIME COMPANY (6yrs+)

SDA's award winning Recreational/Competitive Dance Team!  This is the perfect way for students to experience the excitement of dance competition at a more casual level.

THE SDA HALFTIME Company requires approximately 3-4 hours per week of training in the major dance disciplines (ballet, jazz & tap), and will still receive the high quality instruction and choreography as our FULLTIME Company.

HALFTIME Company dancers travel to ONE out of town regional event experiencing the competitive dance world side by side with our FULLTIME Company.

• MINI Halftime Company (6-8yrs)
• JUNIOR Halftime Company (9-11yrs)
• TEEN Halftime Company (12yrs+)

HALFTIME Company dancers showing potential also have the opportunity to transition into our FULLTIME Program.

FULLTIME COMPANY (6yrs+)

SDA's award winning FULLTIME Company is by assessment.  This program is a more serious study of dance with more hours of training per week.  Extra rehearsals and other commitments are required for this program.

The FULLTIME Company travels to at least two out of town regional events per season, as well as National Finals events.

INTENSIVE COMPANY (12yrs+)

SDA's INTENSIVE Company is by invitation.  This program is for the extremely serious dance student who wishes to commit and dedicate themselves to training at a pre-professional level.

INTENSIVE Company members are required to travel to conventions and competitions, as well as field trips to major dance centres such as Toronto, New York City and Los Angeles.
