"Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration"

Welcome to our small but mighty dance studio! We are thrilled to be celebrating our third competitive season and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
At our studio, we pride ourselves on being different. Our faculty of industry professionals, who have experience as professional performers, sets us apart from the rest. With their wealth of knowledge and expertise, our instructors provide a unique and unparalleled learning experience in every class.

​
Open Company Auditions;
​
Each summer we hold auditions to determine where each dancer should be placed for growth and success. We welcome a wide range of skill levels, dancers will be assessed by our amazing faculty so we can place each dancer where we believe they will thrive.
​
A parent information meeting will also be held during auditions, giving parents a chance to ask their competitive questions, including questions about fees, schedules, and commitments.
​
There is no charge for our group open audition. Private auditions are also available for a fee of $25. To register your dancer for a Company Audition, please email the following to ashley@goddardsstudio,com.
We provide and nurture individualized training based on the wants and needs of each individual student, ensuring the highest level of success. We promote individuality and versatility and encourage all of our students to find their own voice and their own style. Our competitive program is committed to promoting self-esteem, self-discipline, teamwork, and the development of well-rounded, technically skilled dancers.
​
Most of our competitive dancers start their journey on our Competitive Team by dancing in Large Groups and Small Groups. Dancers who we consider to have earned this opportunity based on their dedication, ability, professionalism and work ethic will be given the opportunity to perform in a Solo, Duet, or Trio.
