Carolina Groove Elite (CGE) is our advanced competitive team for dancers ages 7 and up. In addition to their required training at Carolina Dance Center these dancers learn a variety of choreography that is competed at events like NYCDA, Hollywood Vibe, and Revel. At these events dancers also have the opportunity to participate in master classes featuring world renowned choreographers. Throughout the season we bring incredible guest artists to CDC to teach master classes and choreograph our competitive dances. In our experience the challenge of this advanced team helps serious minded dancers reach their goals and become true artists. We are most proud of the fact that our team maintains an atmosphere that is positive, kind, and nurturing. Come join our family!
THE DETAILS:
-
CGE dancers attend three out of town conventions where they also compete group dances. We also offer optional events that dancers can attend throughout the season.

Dancers have options to compete dances in ballet, contemporary, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater, open, and tap. Dancers must compete a minimum of two group dances and families can indicate a max number of dances on the CGE contract. We also offer a TAP ONLY option for dancers who only want to compete tap.
