Competitions

Festivals and Competitions are an exciting extra performing experience offered to students in Performing Arts Plus (PA Plus) & PYP Dance Company. Classes perform in front of an audience and adjudicator, receiving comments, critiques and sometimes placements and/or awards from the dance specialist.

Competition and PYP students agree to train exclusively with Allegro Performing Arts Centre. PYP Company and P.A Plus (competition) dancers are not permitted to perform at Festivals/Competitions, or do continuous training with other studios/companies other than Allegro/PYP.

For parents and students new to Competitions, we welcome you to ask us any questions that you may have!

Spring Break

Spring Break is right around our busy Competition season. This long break occurs just before most of the Competitions we are attending. In order to be well prepared, please consider planning your holidays so that your child is able to attend classes when Allegro is in session. If you are going to be away, please make sure to give us plenty of notice.

Competition Entry Fees

The Competition entry fee for group classes should come to an average of approximately $60 per dancer (plus tax) per performance.

Example: If your dancer is in three dance classes and is attending two competitions per class, this totals six performances (6 performances  × $60 = $360) 

CLASS/GROUP competition entry fees will be charged to each dancer’s account in early December. Each competition family will receive an invoice ahead of the charge date. SOLO & SMALL GROUP COMPETITION FEES (competition dances that are by invite and rehearsed out of class time) will be charged to participating dancer’s accounts in the Spring, also receiving an invoice ahead of the charge date.

Please note: Competition Fees are paid in advance by Allegro on behalf of each student.  If you withdraw from a Competition class after the entry fees have been submitted by Allegro, you will be required to pay your Competition fees. These fees are non-refundable.

Festival & COMPETITION Dates: Classes & Company

Please mark the Competition dates that pertain to your child on your calendar once they come available. Your child's performance will possibly take place during school hours. Students who have committed to the PA Plus Program are expected to attend their Competition performance, even if the performance is scheduled during school hours. Most school teachers are very supportive of our students around this time, as it is a very educational experience. As this is a team effort, we ask families to please avoid booking vacations during Competition dates.

Download the Competition calendar below and view all classes (by teacher). Detailed competition schedules will be posted here approximately 3 weeks before each event. Please check back regularly for updates.

2025 Festivals/Competitions/Extravaganzas/Recitals will take place only if government regulations allow for it.
