The Project.
Where serious dancers train.
Evolve's invitation-only competition team for dancers ready to take their training to the next level. We compete locally and nationally, and our dancers go on to drill teams, college programs, and professional companies.
A serious commitment for serious dancers.
The Project is Evolve's competition team — a dedicated group of dancers who have the opportunity to train across ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, tap, ballroom and acro. We don't just chase trophies, we build dancers who carry themselves with discipline, artistry, and confidence on and off the stage.
Project dancers commit to multiple weekly classes, additional rehearsals, and a competition schedule that runs February through June. We attend regional competitions, conventions, and Nationals annually.
If you're considering The Project, talk to us before auditioning. We'll be honest about whether your child is ready — and what training will get them there.
3 pathways - 1 family
At Evolve, we believe every dancer deserves an opportunity to perform, compete, grow, and find the path that feels right for them. That's why we offer three unique competitive avenues, each designed around different goals, commitment levels, and training needs.
Elevate
For the dancer who loves to dance but wants a lower-commitment introduction to the competitive world.
Our newest program, Elevate, is invite-only and does not require an audition. It's designed for dancers who have a ton of potential and a passion for performing, but aren't ready for the time commitment of our Project programs.
- One competition
- One community performance
- No audition required - invitation only
- A great introduction to competition and performance
- Designed for dancers who want to grow while keeping dance fun and manageable
Elevate is the perfect place to take that first step into competitive dance.
Project
For the dancer who wants to be part of a team, train hard, and compete.
Project is the competitive program Evolve has always offered, with dancers competing across three levels for ages 4-18. This is for the dancer who wants to strengthen their technique, build confidence, make memories with their team, and experience the full competitive dance season.
- Three competitive levels
- Ages 4-18
- 4 regional competitions
- 1 national competition
- Team-focused training and performance opportunities, and convention opportunities
- Strong emphasis on technique, growth, and teamwork
Project is where dancers build their foundation, find their team, and grow as performers.
Elite Project
For the dancer who is serious about training and ready to compete at the highest level.
Elite Project is designed for dancers who are ready to make a deeper commitment to their training and push themselves beyond the traditional competitive experience.
- Higher training expectations
- Additional convention requirements
- More opportunities to travel and train
- Additional elite-level weekly training class required
- Opportunities to compete and train at the highest level
