TVDA Competition Team
Tri-Valley Dance Academy is proud to be home to the TVDA Competition Team, which receives the highest level of dance training in the Tri-Valley area, with a strong emphasis on quality, technique, and creativity.
Our program is led by a team of dedicated and stable faculty, ensuring consistency, reliability, and professional growth for every dancer.
Success is built on respect for self and others as dancers work together as a team—creating unforgettable memories both on and off stage.
The curriculum includes Chinese Dance, Lyrical, Ballet, Modern, Hip Hop, and Performance Training, and all levels of training include technique classes and acrobatics/tumbling, which are essential to building strength, flexibility, and stage confidence.
The program is open not only to dancers with prior experience, but also to those who show potential and a passion for excellence in dance. Placement is based on ability—not age. At TVDA, our philosophy is always quality over quantity, ensuring that every dancer receives focused, individualized training to reach their highest potential.
