Performance Company 2023–2024

Lake Bluff School of Dance Company team members will get the opportunity throughout the year to compete at regional and national dance competitions.

Competitive dance is a popular, widespread activity in which competitors perform multiple dances in different genres and styles in front of a group of panel judges.

The girls will get the opportunity to meet other dancers from different schools and may see each other many times during the competition season. This creates a sense of community as well as valuable connections for those students who wish to pursue a professional dance career.
