Join Oakville's Elite Dancers

Exceptional Training for Aspiring Dancers

At Live To Dance Academy, our Competitive Program is crafted to nurture the talent and passion of aspiring dancers, offering high-calibre training in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acro, and Hip Hop. Our award-winning teams have consistently been recognized for their excellence, with dancers earning numerous accolades for their achievements.

We offer four distinct tiers to accommodate different levels of commitment:

  • Pre-Competitive

    A perfect introduction with less training commitment, dancers train under 3 hours a week, one day a week.

  • Acro Elite

    For dancers who only want to compete in Competitive Acro, training is 3-4 hours per week.

  • Pre-Elite

    A part-time program, training 2 days a week for under 6 hours.

  • Elite

    Our full-time commitment, training 3 days a week for over 7 hours.

All competitive dancers are eligible for Solo, Duet, and Trio Extra Choreography, enhancing their training experience. Entrance to the Competitive Program is by audition only. Placement is based on age and skill level, ensuring each dancer receives tailored instruction to help them thrive.
