Competitive Dance Programs
The AMP Dance Company
The Dance Company is the competitive dance program at AMP where there is multiple commitment levels offered. The teachers are committed to ensuring these dancers to have a growth mindset, strong sportsmanship, accountability, and dependability; all super important life lessons to start learning at any age! While every dancer and teacher alike love to win, that is a goal but not THE goal. Our true goals are growth and making positive, lifelong memories.
The AMP Dance Company offers many extra performance opportunities outside of competitions and recitals including but not limited to, parades, fundraising and community events, a holiday showcase, and senior citizen centers. We hope to be able to spread the love of dance to as many people as possible by participating in as much as possible.
