competition TEAMS
Our TEAMS grow every year! We are super excited about 2022-2023 season. Currently, our TEAMS consist of approximately 60 dancers. In addition to competing with other studios at some great competitions throughout the southeast, our TEAMS do some "showcase" dancing at local pageants and festivals. Our TEAMs work really hard to be an outstanding representation of ShowStoppers and we couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments! We're constantly recruiting TEAM members. If you're interested, please ask if your dancer is eligible (age, experience and level of dance are all taken into consideration when inviting new TEAM members.)
