Dancers interested in joining Purple Thunder, The Dance Shoppe’s award-winning competitive team, must attend the mandatory Competitive Intensive in August. This intensive is designed to evaluate skills, technique, and overall performance while providing valuable training across multiple dance styles.

The Acro Intensive is required for dancers wishing to compete on the Acro Competitive Team, while the two-day Dance Intensive is required for those trying out for the Competitive Dance Team. Classes will include jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, musical theatre, lyrical, contemporary, and conditioning, with dancers placed in groups based on skill level.

The Competitive Intensive is held annually on the second weekend of August and is a required step for dancers looking to secure a place on the upcoming season’s team.
