Competitions

Dancers perform at 4 regional competitions in the spring and attend one national competition in June. They also perform in our annual June recitals.

We Care About Our Dancers' Growth

At Jam Hops Dance Company, we truly care about our dancers and their development. Our competitive dancers set goals for themselves, and our dance staff meets with them individually, multiple times throughout the year, to check in and see how we can help them achieve, learn, and grow as dancers and human beings.

Evaluations

JHDCo competition dancers receive an abbreviated evaluation in January, and a comprehensive evaluation in July after intensives. Instructors score and give notes on the dancers' progress.

Competition Workshops at Jam Hops

  • Midseason REVIVE Workshop
    Dancers REVIVE their inspiration and get energized for competition season after a long winter break! Dancers will enjoy master classes from dance professionals, teambuilding activities, games, and lots of FUN! 
     
  • Summer Competition Workshops
    Jam Hops Dance Company offers optional workshops each June, with our dance instructors, for extra practice, learning, and growth opportunities.
