Competitive Pathways
Our Competitive Pathways are designed to help dancers grow with intention, confidence, and the right level of challenge. Each pathway supports dancers at a different stage in their training, from first competitive experiences to advanced company-level work.
Dancers are placed based on age, experience, skill development, focus, coachability, maturity, consistency, and overall readiness. Our goal is not simply to place dancers in the “highest” level, but to place them where they will be supported, challenged, and set up for long-term success.
The Rookie Company
Our Rookie Company is designed for our youngest pre-competitive dancers, introducing the world of competitive dance in a positive, exciting, and age-appropriate way.
This program focuses on building strong fundamentals, confidence, performance quality, and classroom independence within a supportive team environment. Rookie Company helps dancers gain experience, develop friendships, and grow their love for performing while preparing for future opportunities within our Competitive Pathways.
The Performance Team
Performance Team & Performance Plus
Our Performance Team is designed for dancers looking for added performance opportunities and elevated training with a flexible and manageable commitment level.
Dancers train in styles such as Jazz and Hip Hop while building technique, confidence, teamwork, stage presence, and overall performance quality in a supportive and motivating environment.
Performance Plus is an additional opportunity for dancers with one or more years of competitive experience who are looking to further expand their training and performance opportunities through Lyrical/Contemporary competition work. This program focuses on developing artistry, musicality, emotional execution, and performance quality while continuing to grow as a performer.
The Company
The Company is Chickee’s Dance World’s premier competitive training program, created for dancers seeking a more intensive and immersive performance experience.
Built upon strong technical training, artistry, versatility, and performance excellence, The Company challenges dancers to grow not only as performers, but as disciplined, confident, and dedicated artists. Dancers train within thoughtfully structured pathways designed to meet them at their level while continuing to elevate their technique, work ethic, stage presence, and overall development.
In addition to competitions and performances, Company dancers are exposed to expanded training opportunities that encourage growth, resilience, professionalism, and connection — fostering both exceptional dancers and lasting relationships within a supportive team environment.
