Competitive Level Dance
Dancers are grouped by skill levels (proficiency), age and dance style so that they compete on a “level playing field”. As skills and proficiency improve they advance and move up to the next higher level and compete against dancers at the higher proficiency level. MJDC competitive level dance teams, from beginner to advanced, are Chickadees, Sparrows, Hawks, Doves, and Eagles.
