COMPETITION ETIQUETTE

At Dance Sensations, we take competition etiquette seriously as it reflects our values and dedication to the art of cheer. Our passionate teachers invest considerable effort to ensure our students are competition-ready, and we recognise the immense value of teamwork and sportsmanship. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every athlete can flourish. As such, we extend our appreciation not only to our fellow teammates but also to our competitors. We understand that competitions are opportunities for growth and self-improvement, and we value the talent, hard work, and dedication exhibited by all participants. With a spirit of respect, camaraderie, and admiration, we strive to embody the true essence of the sport and inspire others through our performances. We appreciate your understanding and trust that you will embody and upheld our DS values of this that we are so often commended on at competitions. #WEAREDS

REMINDER

As mentioned previously, we will be holding a Holiday rehearsal with our Comp Cheer Teams on Thursday 16th July 2026, please see final times below. This rehearsal will allow our teams to have extra class time prior to the upcoming comp and to ensure continuation of learning, practice of stunts and skills, and to ensure those muscles don't relax too much over the holiday break, ultimately ensuring athlete safety and preparedness!

If you have any questions at all, please reach out!
