 Elite EDGE Competition TEam

At Charlee’s Elite School of Dance, students who wish to explore competitive dance are invited each year to audition for the Elite Edge Competition Team. Elite Edge competes in 3–4 regional competitions annually and attends a midwestern nationals, giving dancers the chance to grow technically and artistically while representing CESOD in the wider dance community.

Elite Edge is about more than competitions. It’s about:

  • Building confidence and resilience ✨

  • Growing teamwork, leadership, and accountability 🤝

  • Creating lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories 💜

  • Pushing yourself to new levels of artistry, strength, and passion 💃🕺

 

Our dancers also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of performance and training experiences, including:

  • Iowa Dance Theatre’s Nutcracker and Dracula productions

  • Bill Riley Talent Search

  • Festival of Trees and Lights

  • Local Dance Team Spring Showcases

  • Dance Masters of America Solo Title Competition

  • Conventions, workshops, intensives, and more

Each season, our dancers train together as a family — celebrating progress, supporting one another, and striving for excellence both on and off the stage.
