Competitive Dance in Waite Park, St. Cloud, & Stearns County, MN 2020-2021

Competitive Dance in Waite Park, St. Cloud, & Stearns County, MN 2020-2021

Our competition dancers are dancers who like to challenge themselves and love the performance aspect of dance and want more performance opportunities than our Basic/ recreational teams provide. However, we still believe in the same self-esteem and confidence building in these teams...we just encourage them to push themselves to grow in their dance skills and to be their very best. Our teams are required to dance 1-3 nights per week depending on age and skill level. We want our dancers to enjoy their lives and dance, too. Now in our 15th season, Ms. Melinda's Dance studio is a highly competitive studio.

Interested in our Competitive program, please call the studio for more information.
